A '''cambium''' (plural '''cambia''' or '''cambiums'''), in plants, is a tissue layer that provides partially undifferentiated [[plant cell|cell]]s for plant growth. It is found in the area between [[xylem]] and [[phloem]]. A cambium can also be defined as a cellular plant tissue from which phloem, xylem, or cork grows by division, resulting (in woody plants) in secondary thickening. It forms parallel rows of cells, which result in secondary tissues.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://botanydictionary.org/cambium.html | title=Cambium - Dictionary of botany }}</ref>
