It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem. The function of cork cambium is to produce the cork, a tough protective material. Synonyms for cork cambium are bark cambium, pericambium and phellogen.

Hope it helps.

As the plant grows old, the outer protective layer that is the epidermis goes under certain changes. The epidermis of the young stem is replaced by a strip of secondary meristem called cork cambium or phellogen .

Cork is light weight and does not catch fire easily, due to these properties it is used in making insulators, shock absorbers and sports goods.
They protect the plant from harmful microbes.
They protect the plant form mechanical injuries.
They prevent the loss of water by evaporation and transpiration.
