cambium
This term describes a specialized meristematic tissue that enables woody plants to increase in girth. It functions as a biological engine for radial expansion, creating a distinct boundary where new cells are generated to form the internal wood and external bark.
In botanical discourse, the word carries a highly technical and neutral connotation. It is used almost exclusively in scientific, academic, or horticultural contexts to describe the physiological process of secondary growth, rather than in general descriptive language.
