Answer

Depending on the region where they are present meristematic tissue are classified as apical, lateral and intercalary.

1) Apical meristem-

it is present at the growing tips of stems and roots and increases the length of the stem and root.

2) Lateral meristem-

The girth of the stem or root increases due to lateral meristem (cambium)

3) Intercalary meristem-

it is seen in some plants located near the node.

Cells of meristematic tissue are very active, they have dense cytoplasm, thin cellulose wall and prominent nuclei. They lack vacuoles.
