Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Woody gymnosperms are characterized by the production of secondary growth which leads to the formation of wood. This is the result of the activity of the vascular cambium, which produces secondary xylem towards the center of the stem and secondary phloem towards the outside. Therefore, the woody stems of the unidentified plant are likely the product of secondary growth.
