Best Answer

The periderm is the secondary protective (dermal) tissue that replaces the epidermis during growth in thickness of stems and roots of gymnosperms and dicotyledons (i.e., secondary growth). Unlike the epidermis, the periderm is a multilayered tissue system, the bulk of which usually constitutes the cork, or phellem.
