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.

A cork cell refers to a secondary tissue that is produced by the cork cambium. It usually forms the outer part of periderm in the woody plants.
