The plant cell layer that makes new phloem and xylem cells
Real World Example
Imagine trying to handle the constant clutter in your home, where new items keep arriving, and you need to find places for them while getting rid of old items. Similarly, the cambium in plants manages the growth of new cells, continuously adding new phloem and xylem cells while disposing of the old. Just as organizing your home ensures everything has its place and functions properly, the cambium ensures the plant has a steady supply of new cells to transport nutrients and water, maintaining the plant's health and growth.
