Key Concepts

Meristematic Tissue

Meristematic tissues consist of undifferentiated cells in plants that are capable of continuous division and lead to the formation of various specialized tissues. They are essential for both primary growth (increasing length) and secondary growth (increasing girth) in plants.

Vascular Cambium

The vascular cambium is a type of lateral meristem found in woody plants. It is strategically located between the primary xylem (wood) and the primary phloem (bark) and is responsible for secondary growth. By producing cells that develop into secondary xylem inward and secondary phloem outward, the vascular cambium facilitates the increase in diameter of stems and roots.

Secondary Growth

Secondary growth refers to the thickening of stems and roots, which occurs in many dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms. This process is driven by lateral meristems such as the vascular cambium and cork cambium, leading to the development of secondary tissues like wood and bark.
