Solution

The correct option is E Cambium
Cambium is a type of merismatic tissue. It is a plant tissue located between the xylem and the phloem in the stem and root of a vascular plant, and is the source of both the secondary xylem growth and the secondary phloem growth. It constantly undergoes mitosis and always dividing. It is a cylinder of unspecialized meristem cells that divide to give new cells which then specialize to form secondary vascular tissues.
Therefore, the correct answer is option E.
