Annual rings in woody stems are caused by an increase in rings of the secondary xylem. Secondary xylem tissue is produced by vascular cambium. It is also caused by increased and decreased activity of cork cambium during spring and winter, respectively.
The best way to determine the age of a woody stem is by counting the number of growth rings present when the stem is cross-sectioned. Each growth ring represents one year of growth, with the inner rings being older and the outer rings being younger. This method of aging stems is called dendrochronology.
Annual
The new growth deposited between the tree bark and inner tissue of woody stems is called cambium. It is a layer of dividing cells responsible for producing new vascular tissues, contributing to the tree's growth in diameter. Cambium is essential for secondary growth in plants.
The growth rings in dicot stems are formed by the seasonal variations in growth rate due to differences in environmental conditions and availability of resources. During favorable conditions, cells divide rapidly, forming wide, light-colored springwood bands, while during less favorable conditions, growth slows down, forming narrow, dark-colored summerwood bands, creating the distinct growth rings.
Herbaceous stems are soft, green, and flexible, with little to no woodiness. They have a high water content, allowing for rapid growth and flexibility. They do not contain secondary growth tissues like cambium, which means they do not increase in diameter over time.
Blackberries produce canes from the roots each year which only live for two years-- the first year cane, called a primocane, usually doesn't produce fruit. If it survives to the 2nd year, it's called a floricane and produces fruit and then dies, so if there are annual rings, there are only 2 of them.
they both produce things like cones and flowers and both have annual rings of xylem in the stems.
Tulips have soft stems because these are annual herbs of monocots.

One of the different types of stems is the Herbaceous stems. These are often found on annual plants. Ligneous stems are more woody, and often found on shrubs.
Annual
Growth rings, also known as annual rings, are formed in the stems and trunks of trees, as well as in some woody plants. These rings are produced as a result of the tree's growth during different seasons, with the lighter-colored cells representing spring growth and the darker cells representing summer and fall growth. The rings can provide valuable information about the tree's age and the environmental conditions it experienced throughout its life.

Examples of ligneous stems include trees, shrubs, and vines. These plants have thick, woody stems that provide structural support and allow for the transport of water and nutrients throughout the plant. Additionally, ligneous stems can display growth rings, a characteristic feature of many woody plants.
No. Since it is a member of the Allium family, it is considered a biennial. See the related link below.
yes it does the pourpose of the cambium is to thicken the plant . I'm not sure if im right, but i think your wrong. Only woody plants have a vascular cambuim. One of the most common woody plant is a tree. If you are talking about a vascular cambium inside a tree, then no, the vascular cambuim does not expand the stem. What it does is make a second layer of bark for the tree in the comming spring.
