The secondary phloem is a type of phloem that forms from the vascular cambium during the secondary growth.

Secondary phloem: It has originated from the vascular cambium during the secondary growth of the plant.

Depending on where it is formed, there is primary phloem, produced by procambium, or secondary phloem, produced by cambium and found only in dicotyledons.

The abundance of parenchyma in both axial and radial parts of the secondary phloem and in the pseudocortex is a noteworthy feature.

By longitudinal division of its cells parallel to the surface of the stem or root, it forms secondary xylem or wood to the inside and secondary phloem to the outside.
