Determine the collective true-false status of the statements using the choices below.
I. All plant tissue arises from the activity of meristems. Meristems are analogous to stem cells in animals.;
II. Primary growth arises at lateral meristems in the tips of young shoots and roots.;
III. Secondary growth arises at apical meristems in older stems and roots.;
IV. Vascular cambium produces secondary xylem (wood) on its inner surface, and secondary phloem on its outer surface. Cork cambium gives rise to cork, which is part of periderm.
