Upgraded B002 Ntbi0503 Layered Bark Formation Magnified — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.
Diagram showing the layered structure of bark formation. Labelled parts: Cross-section, Cambium, Bark Formation. A diagrammatic view of an organ or tissue obtained by cutting it at a right angle to its longitudinal axis. FYI: Transverse sections (T.S.) are standard in plant anatomy to study the arrangement of vascular bundles. A lateral meristem responsible for secondary growth in plants. It is typically composed of vascular cambium (producing xylem and phloem) and cork cambium (producing cork). FYI: The vascular cambium is responsible for the formation of secondary xylem and secondary phloem, leading to the increase in girth (secondary growth). Bark Formation is a labeled feature or concept in this upgraded BioAtlas image: A highly magnified cross-section diagram focusing on the outer layers. Must clearly show the Phellogen layer sandwiched between the inner Phelloderm and the outer Phellem.
