A
It is a couple of layers thick
B
It forms secondary cortex on its outerside
C
It forms a part of periderm
D
It is responsible for the formation of lenticels
(NEET-2020)
Solution
Cork cambium (Phellogen) is dedifferentiated tissue, so it is a secondary meristem. It is couple of layers thick and cuts off cork (Phellem) towards outer side and secondary cortex (Phelloderm) towards inner side
Phellem + Phellogen + Phelloderm together
constitute periderm.
