| 2. | Secondary phloem and cork cells | 
| 3. | Secondary medullary rays and secondary cortex |

| 1. | Spring wood is lighter in colour with large number of xylary elements having vessels with wider cavities | 
| 2. | Autumn wood is darker with lower density and formed due to less activity of cambium | 
| 3. | Alternate concentric rings of autumn wood and spring wood, constitute an annual ring | 
| 4. | Annual rings seen in a cut stem give an estimate of the age of the tree | 
| 1. | Partly primary and partly secondary in origin | 
| 2. | Secondary meristematic tissue formed due to dedifferentiation of cells of cortex | 
| 3. | Involved in production of phelloderm impervious to water | 
| 4. | Primary meristem responsible for formation of cork cells and secondary cortex | 
| a. | In dicot roots, pericycle is completely transformed into vascular cambium | 
| b. | Lenticels regulate the transpiration rate in woody trees | 
| c. | Bark in a tree does not include the vascular cambium | 
| d. | Cork is impervious to water due to suberin deposition in the cell wall |
