What formes under the bark of a rubber tree?

Under the bark of a rubber tree, a layer of latex-producing cells forms, which is responsible for the production of natural rubber. This latex is a milky fluid that flows when the tree is tapped, typically through incisions made in the bark. The latex contains rubber particles suspended in a watery serum and is harvested for various uses, including the manufacture of goods like tires and adhesives. Additionally, the cambium layer beneath the bark plays a crucial role in the tree's growth and nutrient transport.
