What is the difference between vascular cambium and cork cambium?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The vascular cambium adds to secondary xylem and secondary phloem while the cork cambium gives rise to cork and secondary cortex. The vascular cambium is a remnant of the apical meristem while the cork cambium is a true secondary meristem which develops outside the vascular tissues.

Why is secondary growth important to many plants?
Secondary growth is important because as larger plants grow, more vascular tissue (responsible for transport of water, sugar and minerals) is needed to keep up with the constant growing of the plant. Limit the vascular tissue and the plant will have insufficient amount of water and sugar conduit for transportation throughout.
What is the different internal structure of stem?
the different internal structure of stem are epidermis, vascular bundles, cortex for monocot stems and to dicot, pith, vascular and cork cambium.
What is cork cell?
Cork cambium (pl. cambia or cambiums) is a tissuefound in many vascular plants as part of theperiderm. The cork cambium is a lateralmeristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots,gymnosperms and some monocots, which usually lack secondary growth.
What tissues make up wood and bark?
phellem(cork), phellogen(cork cambium), phelloderm(secondary cortex), primary phloem and secondary phloem constitutes BARK
What does xylem have to do with tree rings and tree age?
Trees have two types of growth: primary growth and secondary growth. · Primary growth occurs at the tips of roots and stems and results in their growing taller or longer. · Secondary growth takes place in the vascular cambium and the cork cambium and results in an increase in the diameter of the stem or trunk of the tree. Cambium lies between the old wood and the bark of the tree. The vascular cambium is a thin layer cells that produces conducting cells - xylem and phloem. · The phloem is the outer layer, and is sometimes referred to as the inner bark. It is a food conducting tissue. The xylem is located toward the inside of the cambium layer. · The xylem is the vascular tissue through which most of the water and minerals of the tree are conducted. More secondary xylem (added toward the inside of the cambium layer) than secondary phloem (added toward the outside of the cambium layer) is produced by the cambium. The definition of wood is secondary xylem, reflected by the origin of the term 'xylem', the Greek word xylon, for wood. Another layer, the cork cambium, contributes to the expanding girth of a tree. The cork cambium is a thin layer cells that ultimately produces the bark of the tree. The bark is composed of several types of tissue produced (both toward the inside and the outside of the tree) by the cork cambium layer.
What organs of the plant may form the cork cambium?
The vascular tissue is the organ of the plant that may form the cork cambium.
What region produces cells in a plant?
cork cambium, apical meristem, and vascular cambium.
What is the purpose of cork?
The function of cork is for insulation and water proofing. The secondary plant body consists of tissues produced by the vascular cambium, and cork cambium.
Is a region that produces cells in a plant?
cork cambium, apical meristem, and vascular cambium. all the above
Does the vas cular cambium produce bark?
No, the vascular cambium produces xylem and phloem. It is the cork cambium which produces the bark and secondary cortex.
What does the cambium produce?
Cork cambium is used for secondary growth.Cork cambium produces new dermal tissues that replace the epidermal tissues from protoderm. Cork cambium is consisted of cork cambium and cork.
What tissues produce secondary growth in plants?
Lateral meristems. Usually, vascular tissue is produced in the center of the stalk and grows outward continually. The vascular cambium is responsible for the new vascular tissue and the cork cambium produces new dermal coverings.
Why is secondary growth important to many plants?
Secondary growth is important because as larger plants grow, more vascular tissue (responsible for transport of water, sugar and minerals) is needed to keep up with the constant growing of the plant. Limit the vascular tissue and the plant will have insufficient amount of water and sugar conduit for transportation throughout.

What tissue give rise to the cork cambium?
The parenchyma cells tissues give rise to the cork cambium.
What tissues make up wood and bark?
phellem(cork), phellogen(cork cambium), phelloderm(secondary cortex), primary phloem and secondary phloem constitutes BARK
