Question

Procambium forms

• A. Only primary vascular bundles
• B. Only vascular cambium
• C. Only cork cambium
• D. Primary vascular bundles and vascular cambium

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only primary vascular bundles

• The meristem can be classified into three types on the basis of function they perform:-
  

1) Protoderm is the outermost layer of the growing region that forms epidermal tissues in plants.

2) Procambium is composed of narrow, elongated meristematic cells that form the vascular tissues in plants.

3) Ground meristem is composed of thick-walled and large cells that form the ground tissues.

• Procambium is a meristematic tissue which forms the primary tissues in the vascular system.
  
• These are continuously dividing cells which responsible for producing the vascular tissues in plants to form the primary xylem and primary phloem in mature stems and root.
  
• So, the correct answer is 'Only primary vascular bundles'.
