Solution:

Cork cambium (phellogen) is an outermost lateral meristem in woody plants, that develops from permanent tissues in the region of epidermis hypodermis, cortex, and even in outer layers of phloem. It is also known as a phellogen that forms a layer of cells that produces a secondary protective layer of the stem called the periderm.
