Question

Which tissue is responsible for secondary growth in the plants?

• A. Vascular cambium
• B. Xylem
• C. Phloem
• D. Cork

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vascular cambium

Vascular cambium is responsible for the secondary growth of plants. It is a thin layer of cells found in plants, separating xylem and phloem. These cells divide and multiply with the plant's secondary growth, in which it increases in girth size.

So, the correct answer is 'Vascular cambium'.
