Types of Meristems |
|
|
Apical meristems. At the tip,
or apex, of each stem and root is an apical meristem. The cell division at the
apical meristem contributes to the lengthening of these plant parts. This lengthening is
termed primary growth, and it takes place in tender, young tissues. A new seedling
reaching for the sky, roots penetrating in search of water--these are examples of primary growth.Shoot Apical Meristem
