Detailed explanation-1: -vascular cambium and cork cambium are lateral meristems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lateral meristems are referred to as the vascular cambium and cork cambium. Cell divisions in lateral meristems are responsible for increases in plant girth. Ordered cell divisions along vascular initials are required for organization of lateral meristems.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are three primary meristems: the protoderm, which will become the epidermis; the ground meristem, which will form the ground tissues comprising parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells; and the procambium, which will become the vascular tissues (xylem and phloem).

Detailed explanation-4: -A plant has four kinds of meristems: the apical meristem and three kinds of lateral-vascular cambium, cork cambium, and intercalary meristem.
