Secondary growth, which occurs in woody plants, results in the formation of additional vascular tissue, leading to the increment in stem diameter over time. By analyzing the growth rings produced by this process, researchers can determine the age of a stem; each ring typically represents one year of growth. The width of these rings can also provide insights into environmental conditions during each growth period. Thus, counting the rings and assessing their characteristics allows for accurate age estimation and growth history analysis.

What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.
How does the stem be more stronger to support the plant?
Formation of stele as a result of secondary growth makes the stem more stronger
Define meristems and explain its role in primary and secondary stem growth?
Meristems are areas of cell division that are found at the tip of the stem and just behind the tip of the root of a plant. They provide the cells that are needed in plants to produce height. They also aid secondary stem growth by forming additional cells to increase width.
What type of growth does cell produced by the vascular cambium increase the diameter of a plant's stem?
secondary xylem
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
What is responsible for secondary growth in a stem?
Vascular cambium is responsible for secondary growth in a stem.
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.
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.
How do plants that lack secondary growth increase (stem width)?
cells get bigger

Are the tissue found in the monocot stem primary?
Yes ! They are primary tissues as there is no secondary growth.
What type of growth does cell produced by the vascular cambium increase the diameter of a plant's stem?
secondary xylem
What does the stem do for the stem?
Cambium, in plants can be defined as layers of actively dividing cells between xylem (wood) and phloem (bast) tissues that is responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots. Secondary growth can be defined as occurring after the first season and results in increase in thickness
