Q. Cork tissue arises from

AMUAMU 2007

Solution:

Mature stems of woody plants have a peripheral water proof tissue called cork (phellum). It is a result of the activity of cork cambium (phellogen) during secondary growth. Cork takes the place of epidermis in the stem and roots of older woody plants.
