Cork Cambium
Cork cambium explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine trying to keep your smartphone safe from scratches and falls by using a sturdy case. Just like the case acts as a protective layer for your phone, cork cambium is a special type of tissue in plants that produces an outer layer to shield roots and stems from damage and harsh environmental conditions. In this analogy, the smartphone represents the plant's vital parts, the case is akin to the cork cambium, and just as the case forms a barrier to protect the phone, the cork cambium generates a protective layer, ensuring the plant remains healthy and intact.
