The meristematic tissues are those tissues which can be grow ( means changes take place )
while permanent tissues have their fixed shape , size etc.
They can't grow more but the meristematic tissues can grow .

Meristematic tissues are of three types :
• Lateral
• Intercalary
• Apical

BE BRAINLY

DavidOtunga: Well, Dahiya, you have only given those meristematic tissues which have been derived directly from the meristems, and that too, only Primary meristem depending upon what position it takes. So, you just needed to elaborate the answer in a vivid way. Thank you, God bless. Keep studying and Keep answering.
zenithablaze35: Nice answer thanks.

A meristem or meristematic tissue (In Greek meristos- divided) is a simple tissue composed of a group of similar and immature cells (meristematic cells) which can divide and form new cells. In simple words they have the capability to grow and and divide and have absence of intercellular spaces.

If asking about the difference between the latter two. Then here you go....
How is the meristematic tissue different from that of permanent tissue?

▪ Meristematic tissue can grow and divide spontaneously.

▪ Permanent tissue are those tissues, the cells of which cannot or have lost the capacity to divide and have attained a permanent shape, size and function due to morphological, biochemical and physiological differentiation.

▪ Meristematic tissues on the basis of of plane division can be divided into three types- mass, plate and rib meristems.

▪ Permanent tissues on the basis of composition, permanent tissues can be simple, complex and special (e.g., secretory).

▪ Meristematic tissue are simple tissue
▪ Permanent tissue can be either simple or complex tissue.
▪ Meristematic tissue cells are small and isodiametric.
▪ Permanent tissue cells are large and of different shapes according to the type of tissue.
▪ In meristematic tissue the vacuous are either small or completely absent.
▪ The living cells of permanent tissues usually possess a central vacuole.
