Step-by-step solution
Differentiation is the process where cells derived from meristems mature to perform specific functions. The formation of aerenchyma in hydrophytes is an example of differentiation. Dedifferentiation is the process by which living differentiated cells regain the capacity to divide. The formation of cork cambium from fully differentiated parenchyma cells is an example of dedifferentiation. Redifferentiation is the process by which dedifferentiated cells once again lose their capacity to divide and mature to perform s
