D
Vascular cambium
Answer
Phellogen
Explanation
Solution
Cork cambium or phellogen is a type of cambium arising within the outer layer of the stems of woody plants, usually as a complete ring surrounding the inner tissues. The cells of the cork cambium divide to produce an outer corky tissue (cork or phellem) and an inner secondary cortex (phelloderm). The common bottle cork produced from Quercus suber is a product of phellogen.
