Detailed explanation-1: -The meristematic tissues, or simply meristems, are tissues in which the cells remain forever young and divide actively throughout the life of the plant. The different types of meristems are apical, lateral and intercalary meristems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The group of actively dividing cells forms the meristematic tissue. Meristematic tissues are found in actively growing parts of a plant. It helps in vertical and horizontal growth of plants.
Detailed explanation-3: -Meristematic tissues are responsible for plant growth. They are present at the tips of roots, stem and branches. The cells present in these tissues constantly divide to produce new cells. The cells actively divide to produce new cells. Meristematic cells may be intercalary as in case of monocots.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘True. ‘
Detailed explanation-5: -Meristematic cells have immense potential to divide. For this purpose, they have dense cytoplasm and thin cell wall. Vacuoles possess cell sap and provide rigidity and turgidity to the cell. This might pose a problem for cell division.
