Question

what is apical meristem?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extensionof the roots and shoots

Answer 2

The apical meristematic tissue of the plant is found in the root tips, as well as the tips of new shoots and leaves, and is responsible for plant growth.

Explanation:

• The apical meristem is one of three types of meristems, or tissue that can divide into different cell types. The meristem is the tissue in plants where development takes place.
• Apical growth is the development of the plant's top and bottom tips. Apical meristems are responsible for root and shoot extension and give rise to the basic plant body.
• The apical meristem is present just below the root cap in the roots. The apical meristem is a clump of undifferentiated cells that is closely packed. These cells give rise to many of the plant's distinct cell shapes.
• Undifferentiated apical meristem cells divide and convert into specialised cells over time. In the root apical meristem, cells grow in two directions.
