Question

The vascular cambium during secondary growth starts to cut off new cells towards centre and periphery .
Does cutting off new cells mean destroying them?

Answer 1

Hello friend!!!

Here's the answer you are looking for

No cut off doesn't mean destroying them

Here it means the vascular cambium, since it is meristematic, divides and redivides to form the secondary xylem to the inner side.

So here cut off means dividing itself to form new cells.
