Question

Fascicular vascular cambium, interfascicular cambium and cork-cambium are examples

• A. Apical meristem
• B. Intercalary meristem
• C. Lateral meristem
• D. Primary meristem

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lateral meristem

The meristem that occurs in the mature regions of roots and shoots of many plants, particularly those that produce woody axis and appear later than primary meristem is called the "secondary" or "lateral meristem".

Fascicular vascular cambium, interfascicular cambium and cork-cambium are examples of lateral meristems. These are responsible for producing the secondary tissues.

Both apical meristems and intercalary meristems are primary meristems because they appear early in life of a plant and contribute to the formation of the primary plant body.
