The terms are as follows:
1. TISSUE: A tissue is a group of cells, in close proximity, organized to perform one or more specific functions.
2. MERISTEMATIC TISSUE:
Meristematic tissue or meristems, are also called tge tissues that have the ability to enlarge, stretch and differentiate into other types of cells as they mature. The cells of this tissue are generally young and immature, with the power of continuous division.
