OBJECTIVE FORESTRY

Detailed explanation-1: -The band of tissue just inside of the cambium is the xylem, which transports water from the roots to the crown. Dead xylem tissue forms the heartwood, or the wood we use for many different purposes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Wood is the secondary xylem produced by coniferous gymnosperms (conifers) and by dicotyledonous angiosperms (flowering plants). Wood performs two main physiological functions: it conducts water from the roots to the leaves and it supports the branches and crown of trees and shrubs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Wood is the result of secondary growth in the xylem tissue. Secondary tissue lies in front of the cambium tissue. On the other hand, the phloem at the back of the cambium due to secondary growth forms the bark of the trees.

Detailed explanation-4: -Wood is a structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It is an organic material – a natural composite of cellulose fibers that are strong in tension and embedded in a matrix of lignin that resists compression.
