What is another word for secondary meristem?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛkəndəɹi mˈɛɹɪstəm] (IPA) 
Secondary meristem refers to the plant tissues that arise from the primary meristem and continue to grow in thickness. These tissues are responsible for the growth in diameter of trees and their branches. Other terms that can be used instead of secondary meristem include secondary growth, cambium, and lateral meristem. Cambium is a thin layer of cells that are located between the bark and the wood of a tree, which produces secondary xylem and phloem. Lateral meristem refers to the plant tissues that grow sideways, increasing the girth of the plant. Overall, these terms refer to the same type of plant tissue that is critical for the growth and development of woody plants.
