Question

3. What is the function of meristematic tissue in plants ?​

Answer 1

The apical meristem, also known as the “growing tip,” is an undifferentiated meristematic tissue found in the buds and growing tips of roots in plants. Its main function is to trigger the growth of new cells in young seedlings at the tips of roots and shoots and forming buds.

Answer 2

Answer:

Meristematic Tissue:-

The Meristem is plant tissue capable of cell division forming new tissues. It actively divides cells adding new cells to plant. Meristem contains undifferentiated cells producing specialized cells structures. Apical meristem, intercalary meristem and lateral meristem are categories of Meristematic Tissue

The characteristics of meristematic tissue are as follows:

1. Cells are small and usually cubical.
2. Cell walls are thin and Nuclei are large.
3. Vacuoles are almost absent.
4. Cells tightly packed with almost intercellular spaces.
5. The new cell produced is transformed into mature permanent tissues.
6. Meristematic tissues are classified on the basis of origin, position, and function.
