hi friend

here's your answer looking for

So, first let's know about "what is meristem?"

The plant tissue is divided into two basic categories that are:-

1). Meristematic tissue.

2). Parmanent tissue.

Meristematic tissue:--These are ever-growing tissues which means that they are responsible for the growth of the plant all the tissue that has the capacity of cell division.

Features:--
1). these cells are thin walled and isodiametric.

2). the cells are capable of cell division .

3). they didn't have intracellular spaces.

4). later these cells became permanent tissue due to the process of differentiation.


These tissue are further categorised into three parts:-

1). Apical meristem:--these tissues can be seen at the apices of stem , branches and root. these tissues helpful in longitudinal growth of a plant. It's location is at apices of stem, branches and root.

2). Intercalary meristem:--this tissue can be seen at the internode of stems and branches. this also helps in longitudinal growth of a plant. It's location is at internodes of stems and branches.

3). Lateral meristem:-- this tissue can be seen at the lateral side of the stems, root and branches. this tissue helps in latitudinal growth of a plant means for increase in diameter of a plant. It's location is at the lateral side of a plant.

hope it's helpful for you so please mark it as brainliest.

Hi Frnd this will help you a lot

Firstly let us see Meristematic tissues(Meristem):-

1}Nature
⇒Cell of meristems divides countinuosly and help in increasing the length and girth of the plant.
These cells show the following characterictics :-
1) The cells of meristematic tissue are similar in structure and have thin cellulose cell walls.
2) The meristematic cells are compactly arranged and do not contains any intercellular space between them.
3) Each meristematic cell contain dense or abundant cytoplasm and a single large nucleus.
4) The meristematic cells may be sphericaol,oval,polygonal or rectancular in shape.
2}Occurrence
⇒Meristematic tissues are growth tissues and are found in the growing regions of the plants.According to their position in the plant,Meistems are apical,Lateral and intercalary.

A) Apical meristems:-These are situated at the growing tip of the steams and roots,i.e.,at shoot apex and root apex.Apical meristems are also found at apices of the leaves.
B)Lateral meristems:- These are found in the brak and in vascular bundels of dicot roots and stems.They occur in thin layers.
C)Intercalary Meristems:-They are located at the base of leaves or internode,e.g.,stemsof grasses and other monocots.Such tissues also occurs below the nodes.
3}Functions 

1)Meristematic tissue acts as a parent tissue from which other tissues develop.
2)These tissue take part in growth by formation of new cells.
3)The place of injury in plants is heaked up by the formation of new cells by meristems.
different meristems have different functions:-
1)Apical:- It brings about the elongation of the roots and stem.It results in increase in the height of the plant, which is called primary growth.
2)Lateral:-It causes the organ to increase in diameter and girth.This is called secondary growth.
3)Intercalary:-It produces an increase in the length of organ such as leaves and internodes.
