Explanation / Answer

1) Secondary growth produced by the cork cambium is unidirectional due to cells being added only to the outside of the cambium layer.

2) Secondary growth produced by the vascular cambium is bidirectional due to cells being added to both sides of the cambium layer.

3) The vascular cambium generates xylem cells to the inside and phloem cells to the outside.

4) The majority of cells are added during secondary growth are xylem cells.

5) The tissue that is commonly referred to as “wood” in a woody plant is composed of xylem cells formed from the vascular cambium.
