Secondary tissue

Secondary tissue

The secondary tissues in woody plants involve the cambium and cork cambium layers. The cambium tissues contain xylem and phloem tissues but in a different position than in the primary tissues. The cork cambium layer is a secondary meristematic tissue and gives rise to cork cells. As the woody stems grow older, there is a physical and chemical change in them. Most of the conducting tissues are plugged up with many kinds of metabolic or waste products.
