Question

Which of the following is an example of secondary meristem?

• A. Promeristem
• B. Intercalary Meristem
• C. Cambium
• D. Apical Meristem

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Cambium

Meristematic tissue is responsible for exhibiting growth in plants. Promeristem gives rise to primary meristem, which is of three types - apical, intercalary and lateral meristems. These meristematic cells on differentiation form different permanent plant tissue. Secondary meristem on the other hand, is formed by dedifferentiation of the cells of permanent tissue. Cambium is an example of secondary meristem.
