Vedclass · Answer

(A) The periderm is a collective term for the protective tissues formed during secondary growth in plants. It consists of three layers: $1$. Phellogen (cork cambium),$2$. Phellem (cork),and $3$. Phelloderm (secondary cortex). Since the phellogen is a type of cambium,and the cork is included,the most appropriate answer among the given choices is $A$ (Cork),as it is a primary component of the periderm. However,if the question implies components of the periderm,it specifically includes phellogen,phellem,and phelloderm.
