Question

what is the difference between lateral and intercalary meristematic tissue ​

Answer 1

Intercalary Meristems – The intercalary meristems are located at the internodes or the base of the leaves. The intercalary meristems help in increasing the length of the internode. ... Lateral Meristems – The lateral meristems are present on the lateral side of the stem and root of a plant.

${ \underline{\underline{ \green{ \mathfrak{lateral \: meristem}}}}}$

The lateral meristem is responsible for lateral growth, or growth in diameter. ... In all woody plants and some herbaceous plants, there are two types of lateral meristems: the vascular cambium and the cork cambium.

The intercalary meristem are present at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases, especially of certain monocotyledons—e.g., grasses. These cells possess the ability to divide and produce new cells, as do apical and lateral meristems. They differ, however, in being situated between regions of mature tissue, such as at the base of grass leaves, which are themselves located on mature stem
