Question

How is cambium formed in dicot stems?

Answer 1

Formation of cambium in dicot stems

1. The cambium cells that make up the intra-fascicular cambium in dicot stems are situated between the primary phloem and primary xylem.
2. The cambium is the growth component in dicots that forms the stems and roots.
3. When the cells of the medullary rays near to the intra-fascicular cambium turn meristematic, the inter-fascicular cambium forms.
4. A continuous ring of cambium is formed.
5. They're unspecialized, cylindrical meristematic cells that divide to form secondary vascular tissues.
