Explanation:
- In young dicotyledonous stem has outer most protective layer of stem which is called epidermis.
- During maturation from young / primary stem to secondary stem, the primary epidermis splits , dries and fall off.
- By falling of primary epidermis in stem the allergens and the infection get into the tissue of the cortex.
- The secondary growth proceed with increase in the gap or diameter of cork cambium that mutually happens in the cortex.
Hence cork cambium increase in diameter to protect expose tissue of
cortex when primary epidermis fall of in stem.
