Bot GPT 3.5 The cambium is a layer of cells found within the stem of a plant. It is responsible for cell division and growth, as it is where new cells are produced that will eventually differentiate into either xylem or phloem tissues. The cambium is located between the bark and the wood of a stem and is crucial for the plant's ability to grow and develop.
Pith, on the other hand, is a type of tissue found in the center of a plant stem. It is composed of parenchyma cells and serves as a storage area for nutrients and water. Pith also provides structural support for the stem and helps transport nutrients and water throughout the plant. While pith is not as actively involved in growth and development as the cambium, it plays an important role in the overall function of the plant.
