1 Answer
The increase in thickness or growth due to the activity of the cambium and the cork cambium is known as secondary growth. In a typical dicot stem, secondary growth starts in the interstellar region and extends towards smaller-steller region. In the steller region it strats owing to the activity of cambium and in extra-stellar region due to cork cambium.
