How is Cork Cambium Different from Vascular Cambium?
While both cork cambium and vascular cambium are lateral meristems involved in secondary growth, they have different roles and locations. The vascular cambium is responsible for producing secondary vascular tissues (xylem and phloem), whereas the cork cambium produces the periderm. Additionally, the vascular cambium is located between the xylem and phloem, while the cork cambium is found in the cortex.
