Lenticels: In cork layer the lenticels are present which are meant for gaseous exchange. In cork, lenticels have loosely aggranged cells called complementary cells with intercelluar spaces. 

Cork cambium  is a tissue found in many vascular plants as a part of the epidermis. It is one of the many layers of bark, between the cork and primary phloem. The cork cambium is a lateral meristem and is responsible for secondary growth that replaces the epidermis in roots and stems.

Secondary cortex is also known as phelloderm, produces from cork cambium on innerside of stem. Cells of phelloderm are thin walled, living and store food.

Cork also known as phellem produces from cork cambium on the outerside of the stem. The cells of phellem are dead, suberized and impervious to water. 

Cork (phellem) + Cork cambium (phellogen) + Secondary cortex ( Phelloderm)= Periderm.
