During the development of the secondary growth in dicot stem and roots, the epidermal layers gets broken down.
The outer layer epidermal layer is replaced for providing protection for stem and roots.
The cork cambium develops from the cortical region. it is composed of thin- walled rectangular cells.
The cells are ct off from both the sides .
the cells on the outer side differentiates into cork or phellem.
The cells on the inner side, develops into secondary cortex.
The cork formed is impervious to water, but allows gaseous exchange through the lenticles.
