Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The process of secondary growth is controlled by the lateral meristems, and is similar in both stems and roots. Lateral meristems include the vascular cambium and, in woody plants, the cork cambium (cambium is another term for meristem).
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary phloem and xylem tissues are produced through the activity of vascular cambium, the cylindrical secondary meristem which arises among the primary plant tissues. Most dicotyledonous species undergo secondary development, among them Arabidopsis.
