Concept 14: Lateral Meristems
In woody plants, secondary growth of stems and roots occurs through the activity of two lateral meristems: the vascular cambium and the cork cambium.
Use information in the graphic to answer the questions below it.
Secondary growth occurs in all gymnosperms and most angiosperms, including most dicots but few monocots.
