NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cork cambium is the tissue seen in several vascular plants as a portion of the epidermis. Found between the cork and the primary phloem, it is one of the several layers of the bark.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cork cambium (pl. cambia or cambiums) is a tissue found in many vascular plants as a part of the epidermis. It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems.

Detailed explanation-3: -It lies just inside the endodermis. It is the outermost part of the stele of plants. The plants that undergo secondary growth, the pericycle contributes to the vascular cambium that often diverges into a cork cambium. So, the correct option is B-‘Dedifferentiated collenchyma cells of cortex’.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cork cambium is part of the bark of a tree and produces cork and phelloderm cells. Vascular cambium is found interior to cork cambium and produces secondary xylem and phloem cells, the vascular tissues of the plant.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fascicular cambium is the vascular cambium present in the vascular bundle. This cambium is present between the primary xylem and primary phloem and separates them from each other.
