Explanation:

Meristem, region of cells capable of division and growth in plants. Meristems are classified by their location in the plant as apical (located at root and shoot tips), lateral (in the vascular and cork cambia), and intercalary (at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases, especially of certain monocotyledons—e.g., grasses). Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots. Lateral meristems are known as secondary meristems because they are responsible for secondary growth, or increase in stem girth and thickness. Meristems form anew from other cells in injured tissues and are responsible for wound healing. Unlike most animals, plants continue to grow throughout their entire life span because of the unlimited division of meristematic regions.

Answer:

The type of meristematic tissue responsible for this is intercalary meristem. These are the tissues present in between the permanent tissue. It is present on the node, inter node and base of the leaf. The intercalary meristem helps in the formation of branches and growth of internodes.
