Detailed explanation-3: -Intercalary meristem is present at the base of the leaves or internodes (on either side of the node) on twigs.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nodes define stem segments and come between them. Thus Intercalary growth involves a meristem located at a Node & has the following features. The Shoot Apical meristem divides and produces derivatives. These divide such that mitosis is more evenly distributed along the internode, than is the case with Apical Growth.

Detailed explanation-5: -The meristem that is found Underneath leaves, nodes, and twigs is called intercalary meristem.
