These trees grow in large numbers by growing outwards and separate continuous rings are formed in the horizontal part of such trees. These rings are known as annual rings, because one such ring is added each year. Such trees are also large in diameter. Wood, which is mostly used for engineering purposes, belongs to this…

What endogenous is
In endogenous trees, a plant grows only by the addition of new cells at the tip or tip, i.e. the trees grow inward and have a fibrous mass visible in their longitudinal section. Such trees show very few branches. The wood of these trees has very limited engineering applications. Examples of endogenous trees are bamboo,…
