Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the vascular cambium: The vascular cambium is a type of lateral meristem, which means it is responsible for the growth in thickness (secondary growth) of stems and roots in woody plants.

Identify the functions of the vascular cambium: It produces secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem (part of the bark), contributing to the thickening of the plant.

Recognize what the vascular cambium does not do: The vascular cambium itself does not transport water and nutrients. This function is primarily carried out by the xylem and phloem, which are produced by the vascular cambium.

Differentiate between production and function: While the vascular cambium produces tissues that are involved in transport (xylem and phloem), it does not directly transport water and nutrients.

Conclude which statement is incorrect: The statement 'It transports water and nutrients throughout the plant' does not describe a function of the vascular cambium, as it is the tissues it produces that perform this function.
