The formation of tracheary elements (xylem tracheids and xylem vessels) by undergoing a few to major structural changes in their cell wall and protoplasm is called differentiation. Formation of meristems like interfascicular cambium and cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells is called dedifferentiation.
