Cambium
Cambium explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to manage a crowded closet, where you constantly need to find space for new clothes while keeping the essentials accessible. Just like this closet management, the cambium in plants is responsible for organizing new layers of phloem and xylem cells, ensuring that the plant continues to grow and function effectively. In this analogy, the cambium acts like you, the closet manager, creating room (new phloem and xylem) and ensuring that everything is in place for the plant (like your wardrobe) to thrive and expand over time.
