Answer:
There are three types of meristematic tissues: apical (at the tips), intercalary (in the middle), and lateral (at the sides). At the meristem summit, there is a small group of slowly dividing cells, which is commonly called the central zone.

Explanation:
- tissues made up of actively dividing cells are called meristematic tissues.they are responsible for plant growth. they are present at the tip of roots,stem,and branches. the cells present in the tissues constantlydivide to produce new cells . this leads to an increase in the height and girth of plants . there are two types of meristematic tissue:
- Apical meristematic tissue : this type of tissue is responsible for increasing the lenght of the plant. So, it is located at the tip of roots and shoots.
- Lateral meristematic tissue : the cells present in this tissue divide to increase the girth or thickness of the plant . as the grows of height ,the stem also gain thickness due to the the actively dividing cells in the tissue.
- hope it would help you
