Solution
The correct option is C Bark The bark is the outermost layer of stem and root of the woody plants. The tissues outer to the vascular cambium is known as bark. The secondary covering on the woody stem is periderm which consists of cork (phellem), the cork cambium (phellogen), and the phelloderm. The cork cambium forms the cork cell which later on turns to the cork. Cork is waterproof tissue with suberised walls which protect the stem from desiccation and pathogen attack.
