Explanation
The correct answer is C: Dracaena
Accessory cambium is a type of cambium that develops in addition to the normal vascular cambium in some plants. It arises from parenchyma cells and produces secondary vascular tissue that is not continuous with the normal vascular tissue. This results in abnormal secondary growth.
Dracaena is a genus of tropical trees and shrubs that exhibit abnormal secondary growth due to the presence of accessory cambium. The accessory cambium arises from the parenchyma cells of the cortex and produces secondary vascular tissue that is separate from the normal vascular tissue. This results in the formation of irregularly shaped woody lumps or bumps on the stem of the plant.
Helianthus (sunflower), Cucurbita (pumpkin), and Maize (corn) are not known to exhibit abnormal secondary growth due to accessory cambium.
