Where are meristems found?
In places where plants grow rapidly, such as the tips of stems and roots.
Meristems are found in plants. They are responsible for the growth of the plant body and are localized regions of actively dividing cells. Meristems are typically found at the tips of roots, shoots, and branches and also in the nodal regions where leaves emerge from the stem. The apical meristem at the tip of the stem is responsible for the height growth of the plant, while lateral meristems near the stem’s base are responsible for its girth. Meristematic cells are capable of generating new cells that differentiate into various types of plant tissues, including dermal, vascular, and ground tissues.
