Where Would You Find Procambium?

The procambium is located next to the protoderm. The procambium gives rise to cells that make up the primary xylem and the primary phloem. Aside from the primary vascular tissues, the vascular cambium and the cork cambium may also arise from the procambium.

Where is the procambium located in the root?

During seedling germination, vascular tissues of the root, hypocotyl and cotyledons differentiate from a predetermined tissue, the procambium, located in the innermost domain of these organs [9].
