what is the difference between meristematic tissue and permanent tissue?
Answers
Answer:
Here is your answer mate.
Meristematic tissues in plants consist of a mass of undifferentiated cells whose main function is to participate in plant growth.
Permanent tissues, on the other hand, are differentiated tissues, carrying out dedicated functions.
