Step 1
Meristem – Meristem is a type of tissue present in plants. This tissue contains meristematic cells which are capable of cell division. Cells which are present in meristematic tissue are capable to develop into any tissue or organ which is present in plants.
Its Location – Meristematic tissue is located at different places like:
- Tips of roots and stem
- Buds and nodes of stems, etc.
Meristem is divided into three different types depending on the occurrence of the meristematic tissue:
- Apical meristem - The apical meristems is located on the tip of the root, stem etc. It helps in the growth of root system and shoot system. The growth of stem above the ground and growth of roots below the ground, both of these growths are achieved by different types of cell divisions and cellular enlargement.
- Intercalary meristem – The intercalary meristems are located at the internodes or at the base of leaves. It helps in increasing the length of the internodes. This can be present in monocotyledonous plants.
- Lateral meristem – The lateral meristem is present at the lateral side of root and stems. It helps in increasing the thickness of plants.
Cambium: Cambium is a layer of tissues. It helps in the growth of the plants. It is found in the area between xylem and phloem. It is responsible for secondary growth of stem and roots.
