A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plant where growth can take place. ... In general, differentiated plant cells cannot divide or produce cells of a different type.Plant tissues are broadly classified into two categories based on their capacity of cell division. They are (1)Meristematic tissues and (2)Permanent tissues. Meristem is a type of tissue system in plants, composed of a mass of undifferentiated cells and their primary function is to take part in the growth of plants.

Difference Between Meristematic Tissues and Permanent Tissues in Plants
Meristematic Tissues Vs Permanent Tissues
Similarities and Difference between Meristematic Tissues and Permanent Tissues
Tissue is a group of cells with more or less common origin and doing a specific function. Plant tissues are broadly classified into two categories based on their capacity of cell division. They are (1) Meristematic tissues and (2) Permanent tissues. Meristem is a type of tissue system in plants, composed of a mass of undifferentiated cells and their primary function is to take part in the growth of plants. Permanent tissues are differentiated tissues doing specific functions such as conduction, providing mechanical support or carrying out photosynthesis etc. Permanent tissues are originated and differentiated from meristematic tissues. In this post we will discuss about the similarities and differences between two fundamentally different tissue systems namely Meristematic tissues and Permanent tissues.
Similarities between Meristematic Tissues and Permanent Tissues:
Both are tissue systems in plants
Both composed of group of cells, doing specific function
Meristematic tissues and some permanent tissues (parenchyma) are homogenous with a single type of cells
Difference between Meristematic Tissues and Permanent tissues:
(1). Meristematic Tissues:
(1). Meristematic tissue composed of undifferentiated cells
(2). Meristems will be always a simple tissue, composed of only one type of cells
(3). Cells are always living
(4). Cells always contain dense cytoplasm
(5). Cells always contain prominent nucleus
(6). Cells divide very rapidly
permanent tissue
(1). Permanent tissue composed of differentiated cells
(2). Permanent tissues may be simple tissue or complex tissues (usually complex tissue, containing more than one type of cells, example: xylem, phloem)
(3). Cells may be living (Parenchyma and Collenchyma) or non-living (Sclerenchyma)
(4). Cells may or may not contain cytoplasm (Parenchyma contain cytoplasm, Sclerenchyma do not contain cytoplasm)
(5). Prominent nucleus present in some cells (Parenchyma) absent in others (Sclerenchyma)
(6). Cells do not divide, they are completely differentiated
