Answer 2

★ ACTIVITY OF THE CAMBIAL RING:-

→ The cambial ring becomes active and cut off new cells, both towards the inner and outer sides.

→ Cambium is generally more active on the inner side than on the outer.

→ As a result, the amount of secondary xylem produced is more than secondary phloem and soon forms a compact mass.

→ Primary and secondary phloem get gradually crushed due to the continued formation and accumulation of secondary xylem.

→ The primary xylem however remains more or less intact, in or around the centre.

→ The cambium forms a narrow band of parenchyma, which passes through the secondary xylem and the secondary phloem in the radial directions.

→ These are the secondary medullary rays.
