What does the primary growth of plant add and while secondary growth adds?
Primary Growth adds height, while secondary growth adds Girth.
What growth increases the girth of stems and roots?
Apical meristem
How girth of stem increases from year to year?
by secondary growth through cambium in the and stelar region and cortical region
What's is the cambiums job?
The cambium is a layer of cells in plants that is responsible for secondary growth, which results in the plant increasing in girth and producing wood. It generates new cells for both the xylem (wood) and phloem (inner bark), allowing the plant to transport water, nutrients, and sugars efficiently.
How does a plant roots grow to become wider?
Stems and buds elongate by adding material to the ends. As plants grow taller, additional material is added to the stems and branches for support, and to increase the number of channels (veins) transporting water and food. (see related link)
What does the cambium do for the plant?
It increases the girth of the stem......................
Increase in girth of a tree is due to the activity of?
