In woody plants, vascular cambium is between the xylem and the phloem. There is also another region, cork cambium. This is between the cork and the phloem. This picture is a tree that was opened in my attempt to expose the cambium. Cambium is tricky to see since it is squished between other layers. In the picture, on the low center of the picture, the cambium is in that area. Cambium is living, it has nutrients and helps the growth of the plant (it produces xylem and phloem).
