(b) Scelerenchyma

(c) Xylem

(d) Apical Meristem​

Answer 1

Answer:

ANSWER

(c) apical meristem

Answer 2

The plant tissue that is capable of cell division is apical meristem.

• Meristematic cells are those cells that are undifferentiated and are capable of repeatedly undergoing cell division to form different plant parts or organs.

• Apical Meristem is the primary meristem of a plant body which gives rise to primary plant parts.

• It helps to develop the root and shoot system and to undergo growth and elongation of the plant.

• It is located at the developing tip of the root as Root apical meristem and the tip of the shoot as Shoot apical meristem

• The Shoot apical meristem elongates the shoot of the plant and makes it higher in length to get it exposed to air and light so that it can undergo photosynthesis and other related processes.

• The Root apical Meristem will increase the length of the root and it also signals the root to direct towards the region with abundant water and nutrients.
