Lateral meristem


lateral meristem
(mare-eh-stem) [L. latus, lateris, side + Gk. meristos, divided]
The vascular and cork cambium, a cylinder of dividing cells that runs most of the length of stems and roots and is responsible for secondary growth.

lateral meristem Meristems that give rise to secondary tissues, typically by the formation of radial files of cells and thereby increasing the diameter and circumference of an axis over time; the vascular cambium and cork cambium.

cambium A lateral meristem in plants. Types of cambiums include vascular, cork, and intercalary.

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.
