Question

Difference between apical and lateral meristematic tissues

Answer 1

hello!!♥

Primary or apical meristem is the tissue from which the main stem of a plant arises while lateral meristem is the one from which the plant grows laterally. ... Lateral meristem helps the plants to increase in width and increase their diameter. Apical meristems are very small as compared to the larger lateral meristem.

Answer 2

Answer:

Meristematic tissues are present on the tip, sides and in between layers of other tissues. Meristematic tissues at the growing tip that bring about growth in length are called as apical meristematic tissue.

Tissues present around the edges in a lateral manner and giving rise to growth in the girth of stem are called lateral meristematic tissues.
