Cork cambium forms tissues that form the cork. Do you agree with this statement? Explain.

(A) Yes,$I$ agree with this statement. During secondary growth in dicot stems and roots,the outer epidermal layer is ruptured. To protect the inner tissues,the cork cambium (or $Phellogen$) develops from the cortical region. It consists of thin-walled,rectangular cells that divide on both sides. The cells cut off towards the outside differentiate into cork $(Phellem)$,which is impervious to water due to the deposition of suberin. The cells cut off towards the inside differentiate into the secondary cortex $(Phelloderm)$. Thus,the cork cambium is responsible for producing the cork tissue.
