Question

what is the function of the intercalary meristem
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Heya mate ...

Here is your ans....⬇️

✎The meristem is a type of tissue found in plants. It consists of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) capable of cell division. Cells in the meristem can develop into all the other tissues and organs that occur in plants.

Differentiated plant cells generally cannot divide or produce cells of a different type. Meristematic cells are undifferentiated or incompletely differentiated, and are totipotent and capable of continued cell division. Division of meristematic cells provides new cells for expansion and differentiation of tissues and the initiation of new organs, providing the basic structure of the plant body

Answer 2

Answer:

While the apical meristem is responsible for vertical growth, the lateral meristem is responsible for lateral growth, or growth in diameter.

This type of growth is known as secondary growth because it is growth around an already established stem.
