What is meristematic tissue?

Meristematic tissue is a group of actively dividing, undifferentiated plant cells responsible for growth and the formation of new tissues and organs.

What are meristems and their functions?

Meristems are regions of meristematic tissue found at specific locations in plants. Their main functions are to produce new cells for growth, enable elongation (primary growth), increase thickness (secondary growth), and repair damaged tissues.

What is the structure of the meristem?

Meristematic tissue consists of small, densely packed cells with thin cell walls, large nuclei, dense cytoplasm, and little or no vacuoles, allowing them to divide rapidly.
