EduRev SSC CGL answered

The vascular cambium is a secondary meristem located between xylem and phloem in a plant. Its primary function is to produce new xylem and phloem cells through a process called secondary growth. This activity leads to the thickening of stems and roots, providing structural support to the plant and enabling the transport of water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant's vascular system.
