Fascicular cambium found in dicot stem is a
The correct option is B Secondary meristem
In dicots, the cambium that arises between the fascicles or vascular bundles forms interfascicular cambium. The cells of cambium present between primary xylem and primary phloem are the intrafascicular cambium. At the time of secondary growth, cells of medullary rays in a line with intrafascicular cambium become meristematic and form interfascicular cambium. The interfascicular and intrafascicular cambium, therefore, represent a continuous ring which bisects the primary xylem and primary phloem and is known as cambium ring. The vascular cambium then produces secondary xylem inside the ring and secondary phloem outside. So, fascicular cambium found in dicot stem is a secondary meristem. So, the correct answer is option A.
