Solution
(c) Bark is a non-technical term that refers to all tissues exterior to the vascular cambium, therefore including secondary phloem. Bark refers to a number of tissue types, viz., periderm and secondary phloem. Bark that is formed early in the season is called early or soft bark. Towards the end of the season, late or hard bark is formed. Lenticels permit the exchange of gases between the outer atmosphere and the internal tissue of the stem. Meristematic tissue called cork cambium or phellogen develops, usually in the cortex region. Phellogen is a couple of layers thick.More Anatomy of Flowering Plants PYQs
