Question

the cambium is a section of cells in a plant that can become either part of the xylem or phloem, depending on the growth and needs of the plant. if the cambium of a particular plant was damaged, what would be the most likely effect on the plant?

Answer 1

Answer: The plant would not be able to transport nutrients and water.

Explanation: PHLOEM and Xylem are the transport system in plants, necessary for carrying nutrients from the leaves to other parts and water from the roots upwards respectively. So destruction to the cambium would lead to the destruction of these vascular bundles.
