Meristematic tissue:
*The growth of plants occur only in certain specific regions. This is because the dividing tissue, also known as meristematic tissue, is located only at specific points.
*Depending on the region where they are present, meristematic tissue are classified as apical, lateral and intercalary.
*New cells produced by meristem are initially like those of meristem itself, but as they grow and mature, their characteristics slowly change and they become differentiated as components of other tissues.
TYPES:
# Apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stem and roots and increases the length of stem and the root.
# The girth of the stem or root increases due to lateral meristem (cambium).
# Intercalary meristem is meristem at the base of the leaves or internodes (on either side of the node) on twigs.
