Question

discuss the important events during the secondary growth in thickness in the dicotyledonous stem.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Primary growth produces growth in length and development of lateral appendages. Secondary growth is the formation of secondary tissues from lateral meristems. It increases the diameter of the stem. In woody plants, secondary tissues constitute the bulk of the plant. They take part in providing protection, support and conduction of water and nutrients.

Answer 2

Answer:

Secondary growth occurs in most of the stems of dicots—the thickness or girth of the stem in dicot increases due to secondary vascular tissues and periderm. The vascular bundles in the dicot stem are arranged in the form of a ring. The activity of the cambium ring gives rise to secondary growth in dicot stems.
