What are the different types of secondary growth in dicots?
1. Normal type of secondary growth in the cortical and vascular regions adding to the secondary xylem ,secondary phloem and periderm at their proper places 2. Various types of anomalous secondary growth putting paches of xylem & phloem abnormally.
Is a tulip herbaceous or woody stem?
Is a tulip woody or herbaceous? tulip is herbaceous, because it is a monocot. secondary growth doesn't occur in monocots, whereas secondary growth produces cork, which is the woody stem found in dicots
How can you distinguish if a monocot from dicot?
Dicot plants have secondary growth hence their stems are woody, in mocots true secondary growth is absent. The leaves of dicot plants have reticulate venation and monocots have parallel venation. The seeds in Dicots have two cotyledones in its embryo in monocots only one cotyledon in the form of scutellum is prominant.
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.
What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.

Do mosses have secondary growth?
No, mosses do not have secondary growth. Secondary growth takes place in vascular plants. Mosses are non-vascular.

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.
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.
What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.
What does the primary growth of plant add and while secondary growth adds?
Primary Growth adds height, while secondary growth adds Girth.
What is periderm in secondary growth?
Secondary growth in cortical region forms secondary cortex inside and periderm outside the cortical cambium
Do Woody plants lack secondary growth?
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.
What types of growth pattern are found in monocots?
monocots - adventitious or fibrous root system dicots- taproot system..
What is difference between primary growth and secondary growth?
Primary growth is when the stem or root of a plant gets lengthens, and secondary growth is when the stem/root gets thicker.
