Primary growth is responsible for elongating the plant. In woody plants, primary growth is then followed by secondary growth which allows the plant stem to increase in thickness or girth.

Which would not change a potted plants growth?
lack of water and fertilizer would not change the growth
What are the causes of the growth retardation of plants?
Mainly lack of light. Without light, plants are unable to photosynthesis and thus cause growth retardation which may sometimes lead to death of the plant.
How is woody xylem in tilia different from xylem in the herbaceous monocots and dicots?
Herbaceous stems lack woody tissue and growth rings unlike woody xylem. Wood is a composite of cellulose fibers which require the the process of phloem in the bark to contain nutrients unlike herbaceous stems that rely on xylem that contains vessel and vascular elements.
Why have biologists hypothesized that the first land plants had a low sprawling growth habit?
The ancestors of land plants, green algae, lack the structural support to stand erect in air.

What is cork cell?
Cork cambium (pl. cambia or cambiums) is a tissuefound in many vascular plants as part of theperiderm. The cork cambium is a lateralmeristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems. It is found in woody and many herbaceous dicots,gymnosperms and some monocots, which usually lack secondary growth.

Do all angiosperms undergo secondary growth?
No, most monocots (which fall under flowering plants) do not undergo secondary growth due to the fact that they lack vascular cambium.
Why do monocot plants not show secondary growth?
In a monocot stem, vascular bundles are scattered throughout the stem. However, because the of the lack of vascular cambium, no secondary growth occurs in the monocot stem. As a result of increased cell size, the monocot stem will only increase in height only.

What effect could a cold winter with little precipitation have on the primary and secondary growth of a tree?
The effect that a cold winter with little precipitation might have a negative effect on the primary and secondary growth of a tree because the lack of water and harsh weather conditions aren't too good for trees. Primary and secondary growth is continued for as long as a tree/plant survives. But if the tree doesn't survive, primary and secondary growth no longer happen.
