Vascular cambium and cork cambium are

A

lateral meristems

B

intercalary meristems

C

primary meristems

D

apical meristems.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
The lateral meristems e.g., vascualr cambium and cork cambium (in dicotyledons and gymnosperms) are the meristems that cause increase in girth of the organs in which that are active. This is known as secondary growth of the plant.
