Question

question 3
what is the name of the meristem that produces wood in trees/shrubs?
lateral bud
apical meristem
vascular cambium
annular meristem

Explanation:

The vascular cambium is a lateral meristem in trees and shrubs. It produces secondary xylem (wood) towards the inside of the plant and secondary phloem towards the outside, contributing to the thickening of the stem and the formation of wood. Lateral buds give rise to branches or flowers, apical meristems are responsible for primary growth (increase in length), and annular meristems are not the main meristems for wood - production.

Answer:

C. vascular cambium
