Which of the following statements correctly describes the vascular cambium?

The vascular cambium is a tissue that transports water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves.

The vascular cambium is a lateral meristem responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots.

The vascular cambium is a type of muscle tissue involved in the contraction of the heart.

The vascular cambium is a part of the digestive system that aids in nutrient absorption.

Verified step by step guidance

Identify the function of the vascular cambium: The vascular cambium is a type of lateral meristem, which is a plant tissue responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots.

Understand the role of lateral meristems: Lateral meristems, like the vascular cambium, contribute to the increase in thickness or girth of the plant, as opposed to primary growth which increases the length.

Differentiate between the options: The vascular cambium is not involved in transporting water and nutrients, muscle contraction, or nutrient absorption, as these functions are related to other systems and tissues.

Recognize the context of secondary growth: Secondary growth is crucial for the structural support and increased transport capacity in woody plants, facilitated by the vascular cambium.

Conclude with the correct description: The vascular cambium is indeed a lateral meristem responsible for the secondary growth of stems and roots, distinguishing it from other tissues and systems mentioned in the options.
