Herbaceous and young woody stems conduct photosynthesis in the cells of the cortex, a tissue located just beneath the epidermis. The xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals, while the phloem is involved in the transport of sugars produced during photosynthesis. The vascular cambium is a region of meristematic tissue that gives rise to secondary xylem and phloem in woody plants.
In a mature dicot stem, the bark is composed of several tissue layers including the cork cambium (phellogen), cork cells (phellem), phelloderm, secondary phloem, and sometimes remnants of primary phloem and cortex tissues. The cork cambium produces the cork cells on the outside and the phelloderm on the inside, providing protection and structural support.
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
Epidermis: outermost layer that protects against pathogens and water loss. Cork cambium: produces cork cells for protection and insulation. Cambium: responsible for secondary growth and producing new xylem and phloem. Vascular cambium: produces xylem and phloem for water and nutrient transport.
Most of the plant's new xylem and phloem are produced in the vascular cambium, which is a thin layer of meristematic cells located between the xylem and phloem in the stem and root. This region is responsible for secondary growth in plants, leading to the production of new xylem towards the inside and new phloem towards the outside.
No, the vascular cambium produces xylem and phloem. It is the cork cambium which produces the bark and secondary cortex.
The stem of a plant typically consists of three main layers: the epidermis (outer layer), the cortex (middle layer), and the vascular tissue (inner layer). The epidermis provides protection, the cortex stores nutrients, and the vascular tissue is responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant.

The xylem and phloem are separated by vascular cambium in woody plants. This layer of meristematic tissue is responsible for producing new xylem and phloem cells, allowing the plant to grow in diameter.
A longitudinal section of a root typically consists of the epidermis (outermost layer), cortex (region between epidermis and vascular tissue), endodermis (innermost layer of cortex with Casparian strip), pericycle (gives rise to lateral roots), vascular tissue (xylem and phloem for transport), and root cap (protective covering at root tip).

Some names of plant tissues include: epidermis, cortex, phloem, xylem, cambium, mesophyll, meristem, and stomata.
Epidermis: outermost layer that protects against pathogens and water loss. Cork cambium: produces cork cells for protection and insulation. Cambium: responsible for secondary growth and producing new xylem and phloem. Vascular cambium: produces xylem and phloem for water and nutrient transport.
The phloem is closer to the cortex in a plant stem.
No, the xylem and phloem are not grouped together in the cambium. The cambium is a layer of cells in between the xylem and phloem that is responsible for secondary growth in plants. It gives rise to new xylem and phloem cells as the plant grows.
