Where in the plant does growth in width or girth originate?
Options:
- (A) conductive tissue
- (B) carbon dioxide
- (C) Veins and arteries.
- (D) It gets more light
- (E) photosynthesis
- (F) at or near the margins
- (G) vascular tissue
- (H) in the autumn season OK. Let's think hard:
Secondary meristem is located within and around the vascular tissues. Growth in girth is caused by other meristems, called secondary meristems. Plant growth in width or girth emanates from within and around the vascular tissues.
So, the final answer is (G).
