During the secondary growth in the dicot stem, the cambial ring becomes active and begins to cut off new cells both towards the inner and the outer sides. The cells cut off
1. Towards pith, mature into secondary phloem
2. Towards the periphery, mature into secondary xylem
3. Towards pericycle, mature into secondary xylem as well as secondary phloem
4. Mature into secondary vascular tissues
a. | Annual rings are bands of secondary phloem and medullary rays. |
b. | The wood of Cycas has vessels. |
c. | Conjoint vascular bundles are found in the leaves of sunflowers and maize. |
