Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The vascular cambium is responsible for producing new xylem and phloem tissues and is located towards the center of the stem, so it will not be affected by the crushing or sloughing off of tissues in the outer layers of the stem. The epidermis, cortex, pith, and endodermis are all located in the outer layers of the stem and may be impacted by growth.
