Secondary Growth in Dicot Roots

  • In the dicot root, the vascular cambium is completely secondary in origin. 
  • It originates from the tissue located just below the phloem bundles, a portion of pericycle tissue, above the protoxylem forming a complete and continuous wavy ring, which later becomes circular.
  • Further events are similar to those already described above for a dicotyledon stem.

 

Both the phellogen and root vascular cambium are secondary in origin.
