Rockm,
Got it, thank you for the education. Sorry about mixing up the terms for a layer of skin, I'll try and remember cambium in the future.

Do you think it possible that putting a living branch in close contact with a living root perhaps would stimulate the production of hormone that would make the magic happen?

I have seen many, many plants with new shoots growing from a root. Happy to make some photos of that in the woods around my house if you would like to see them. Some plants reproduce that way, bamboo for example.
