Question : Interfascicualr cambium and cork cambium are formed due to

Answer»

CELL division
Cell differentiation
Cell dedifferentiation
Redifferentiation

Solution :Cell dedifferentiation
Interfascicular cambium anbd PHELLOGEN are fromed due to dediferentiation
Differentiation : It is a process that leads cells TOWARDS maturity. It is called differentiation. During differentiation most of or some changes occur in PROTOPLASM and cell wall.
Dedifferentiation : Differentiated cells maintain cell division capacity. This event is known as Dedifferentiation. Interfascicular cambium and cork cambium are formed from COMPLETELY differentiated parenchymatic cells. It is an example of dedifferentiation.
Redifferentiation : De-differentiated cells divide once again, and lose their capacity to become adult/mature. This event is known as Redifferentiation.
