A) leaf primordia.
B) lateral meristems.
C) root caps.
D) root hairs.
E) cork cells.
Stem Apical Meristem
A region at the tip of a plant stem where cells are undifferentiated and capable of division, contributing to the lengthwise growth of the plant.
Lateral Meristems
Plant tissue responsible for growth in thickness or girth in a maturing plant, found in the cambium and producing cells that differentiate into various tissues.
Leaf Primordia
Embryonic tissues at the tips of plant shoots that develop into leaves.
- Acknowledge the critical role and specific site of meristematic tissue in plant biology.
- Explain the process of primary and secondary growth in plants and their outcomes.
