- The first cork cambium is formed by the dedifferentiation of the outer part of the cortex.
- As the stem increases in girth, the epidermis and the cortex are replaced by another meristematic tissue called the cork cambium.
- It is also called phellogen.
- The cells of the phellogen are thin-walled, rectangular and narrow.
- The cork cambium is 2–3 layers thick.
- Cells of the cork cambium cuts off cells peripherally and towards the centre.
- Cells on the peripheral region form the cork cambium or phellem.
- The walls of cork cells have depositions of suberin because of which cork becomes impermeable to water.
- Cells on the inner region form the secondary cortex or phelloderm. The cells of this region are parenchymatous.

Pigeonpea is predominantly a crop of tropical areas mainly cultivated in semi-arid regions of India. Pigeonpea can be grown between 14°N and 28°N latitude, with a temperature ranging from 26° to 30°C in the rainy season (June to October) and 17° to 22°C in the postrainy (November to March) season. It has deep tap roots hence it can tolerate drought and poor soil conditions. Edible parts of pigeon pea are the seeds, seedpods, leaves, and young shoots. Pigeon pea is as well known for its medicinal uses. Leaves are used as treatment of coughs, bronchitis, diarrhoea, haemorrhages, sores, and wounds.

The radula is a file-like rasping organ found in molluscs. It helps in scraping food. It also used for creating depression in rocks. The radula is the only means of consuming food and plays a pivotal role in the survival of the animal.

Cockroaches are equipped with open type circulatory system. In this, blood is pumped by heart and flows open in body cavity. Organs floating in blood get nutrition directly. Supply of oxygen is independent through a separate closed type respiratory system.
To make it more explicit, the circulatory system of cockroaches is primitive consisting of only heart and primary artery. Contrary to higher animals the oxygen supply is not dependent on circulatory system. For this there is a well developed closed respiratory system for assured exchange of gases directly by the tissues.

Mycoplasma is called as joker of plant kingdom because these bacteria have the ability to alter their shape or size in response to environmental conditions and live as parasite on plants that's why we can say the joker of plant.

The average lifespan of RBCs is 120 days. RBCs are finally destroyed in the spleen and hence, spleen is also called the graveyard of RBCs. RBCs play a significant role in transport of respiratory gases. Spleen is an organ of the lymphatic system located in the left side of the abdominal cavity under the diaphragm, the muscular partition between the abdomen and the chest. It is called graveyard of RBC because fragment of red blood cells, old and dead cells are constantly being removed from the blood streams by it.

The increase in girth of stems of woody angiosperms is called secondary growth. The tissue involved in secondary growth are the two lateral meristems?vascular cambium and cork cambium.
(i) Vascular cambium is a vascular layer present between xylem and phloem (vascular tissues). It is responsible for the cutting off vascular tissues, later it forms a complete ring.
(ii) The cambial ring becomes active and begins to cut off new cells, both towards the inner and the outer sides.
(iii) The cells cut off towards pith, mature into secondary xylem and the cell cut of towards periphery, mature into secondary phloem.
(iv) The cambium is generally more active on the inner side than the outer. As a result, the amount of secondary xylem produced is more than the secondary phloem and soon forms a compact mass.
(v) The primary and secondary phloem get gradually crushed due to the continued formation and accumulation of secondary xylem.
(vi) The primary xylem however, remains more or less intact, in or around the centre.
(vii) At some places, the cambium forms a narrow band of parenchyma, which passes through the secondary xylem and the secondary phloem in the radial directions. These are the secondary medullary rays.
(viii) The stem continues to increase in girth due to the activity of vascular cambium.
