Which type of plant tissue is responsible for secondary growth?
Correct Answer: Lateral meristem
- Step 1: Understand that plants have different types of tissues.
- Step 2: Learn that there are two main types of growth in plants: primary and secondary growth.
- Step 3: Know that primary growth makes plants taller and is done by apical meristems at the tips of roots and stems.
- Step 4: Recognize that secondary growth makes plants thicker and is done by lateral meristems.
- Step 5: Identify that the lateral meristem includes the vascular cambium and cork cambium.
- Step 6: Conclude that lateral meristem is responsible for secondary growth, which increases the thickness of stems and roots.
