Question

how many types of meristematic tissue explain each of the type briefly​

Answer 1

Answer:

Depending on the occurence of the meristematic tissue on the plant body, we can classify the meristem into three types . They are:

- Apical meristem: These meristem are located on the tip of the root, stem etc. They help in the growth of the root system as well as the shoot system. The various cell divisions along with the cellular enlargement help in the growth of the stem above the ground and the growth of the root below the ground.

- Intercalary meristem: The Intercalary meristem are located at the internodes or the base of the leaves. The Intercalary meristem help in increasing the length of the internode. This is usually seen in monocotyledonous plants.

- Lateral meristem: The lateral meristems are present on the lateral side of the stem and root of a plant. These meristems help in increasing the thickness of the plants. The vascular cambium and the cork cambium are good examples of a lateral meristematic tissue.

Answer 2

Explanation:

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.
