Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Meristems are specialised regions of plant growth. The meristems mark the regions where active cell division and rapid division of cells take place. Meristems are of three types depending on their location.
Apical meristem:
It is present at the root apex and the shoot apex. The shoot apical meristem is present at the tip of the shoots and its active division results in the elongation of the stem and formation of new leaves. The root apical meristem helps in root elongation.
Intercalary meristem:
The intercalary meristems are located at the internodes or the base of the leaves. The intercalary meristems help in increasing the length of the internode. This is usually seen in monocotyledonous plants.
Lateral meristem:
The lateral meristems are present on the lateral side of the stem and root of a plant. These meristems help in increasing the thickness of the plants.
