Explanation by: Mr. Dubey

 

  • Primary phloem is part of the primary vascular system in plants and develops from the provascular tissue (also called procambium).
  • Provascular tissue (Procambium) is a type of primary meristem that gives rise to primary xylem and primary phloem.
  • Lateral meristem (e.g., vascular cambium) is responsible for secondary growth, not primary phloem formation.
  • Protoderm gives rise to the epidermis, not vascular tissues.
  • Extrastelar cambium is not directly involved in primary phloem development.
