Answer 1

Answer:

Meristems can be classified on the basis of functions as:

• Protoderm: Protoderm is the outermost layer of young growing region which gives rise to epidermis (epidermal tissue system) in developing organs.

• Procambium: The cells of young growing region which give rise to primary vascular tissues by their elongation and differentiation are called procambium.

• Ground meristem: Ground meristem is the portion of young growing region which gives rise to hypodermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, medullary rays and pith.

Answer 2

Answer:

On the basis of their function, meristems have been classified into three types: ADVERTISEMENTS: (i) Protoderm meristem: It is the outermost layer of the young growing region which develops to form epidermal tissue system.The meristem is a type of tissue found in plants. It consists of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) capable of cell division. Cells in the meristem can develop into all the other tissues and organs that occur in plants. Differentiated plant cells generally cannot divide or produce cells of a different type.
