HI DEAR FRIEND..
The meristem of a plant is the plant’s top growth. It is the region of the plant that is actively growing and dividing. This area is where the plant will form new tissue.
Meristem can also refer to the growing tips of the plant’s root system. Pinching or pruning the plant’s meristem encourages it to produce two or more shoots. The action of pruning the meristem causes the plant to rapidly start cell division and create new growth.
Cutting away the meristem of a plant is also a way to create an entirely new plant, a clone of the parent plant. The process is known as taking a stem cutting from the meristem.
hope it helps you.....
