On the Basis of their Position in the plant, their meistems are divided Into apical, lateral and intercalary meistems.
Difference between apical and lateral meistems are as follows.
Difference in their Position :-
Apical meristem is the tissue from which the main stem of a plant arises while lateral meristem is the one from which the plant grows laterally.
Lateral meristems are placed in such a way that they surround the apical meristem and hence always cause growth laterally.
Difference in their Functions :-
The function of the apical meristem is to initiate the growth of new cells in the seedlings of the tips of the root and shoots. The lateral meristems are equally important as they are responsible for radical growth of the plants and initiate growth where the apical meristem ceases to initiate growth.
