First of all Happy diwali and good morning
Cork cambium is a tissue found in many vascular plants as part of the epidermis. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems.
A mature cork cell is non-living and has cell walls that are composed of a waxy substance that is highly impermeable to gases and water called suberin.
FUNCTIONS OF CORK ARE:- :}
they are protective in nature.
:} they prevent desiccation (loss of water from plant bodies), infection and mechanical injury.
