What's the difference between cambium and root?

Cambium


Definition:

  • (n.) A series of formative cells lying outside of the wood proper and inside of the inner bark. The growth of new wood takes place in the cambium, which is very soft.
  • (n.) A fancied nutritive juice, formerly supposed to originate in the blood, to repair losses of the system, and to promote its increase.

Root


Definition:

  • (v. i.) To turn up the earth with the snout, as swine.

A true root, however, may never reach the ground, but may be attached to a wall, etc., as in the ivy, or may hang loosely in the air, as in some epiphytic orchids.
  • (n.) An edible or esculent root, especially of such plants as produce a single root, as the beet, carrot, etc.; as, the root crop.

  • (n.) The fundamental tone of any chord; the tone from whose harmonics, or overtones, a chord is composed.
  • (n.) The lowest place, position, or part.
