cork cambium a ring of dividing cells beneath the epidermis in woody plants, originating parenchyma tissue on the inside and cork on the outside Source: Noland, George B. 1983. General Biology, 11th Edition. St. Louis, MO. C. V. Mosby ...

Cork cambium is one of the plant's meristems - the series of tissues consisting of embryonic (incompletely differentiated) cells from which the plant grows. It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem.

Cork. The outer part of the bark is protected by layers of dead cork cells impregnated with suberin. Suberin is waxy and cuts down water loss from the stem.

cork The outer layer of the bark in woody plants; composed of dead cells. cork cambium A layer of lateral meristematic tissue between the cork and the phloem in the bark of woody plants.

cork cell A secondary tissue produced by the cork cambium, and forms the outer part of the periderm in a woody plant.

The vascular cambium and cork cambium are called lateral meristems because they surround the established stem and make it grow larger in diameter. This is called the secondary growth, giving rise to wood. Full article ...
