D)​vascular cambium

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ground meristem is the tissue responsible for giving rise to the root cortex through differentiation. The pericycle gives rise to lateral roots, the primary meristems are the initial cells that undergo differentiation to produce all root tissues, and the vascular cambium is a secondary meristem responsible for the production of secondary xylem and phloem in the roots and stems of woody plants.
