Question

differences between apical Meristem and Lateral Meristem

Answer 1

APICAL MERISTEMATIC TISSUE & LATERAL MERISTEMATIC TISSUE:

The main function of the apical meristem is to initiate the growth of new cells in the seedlings of the tips of the root and shoots. The lateral meristems are equally important as they are responsible for radical growth of the plants and initiate growth where the apical meristem ceases to initiate growth. Vascular cambium produces woody growth in plants and maintains this continuous process which goes on for life. The apical meristem helps the plant grow deeper roots and give strong support to the plants.

There are many plants which do not undergo secondary growth due to the absence of lateral meristems and are called herbaceous plants while the ones which undergo woody growth are called as arboraceous plants.

Answer 2

Answer:

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.

The apical meristem is also called as the growing tip and it is found in growing buds and growing roots.
