Detailed explanation-1: -Meristematic tissue has undifferentiated tissue that divides and forms building blocks for specialized tissue. A meristem at the tip of the plant stem is responsible for the division and growth as it is continuously divided. Meristem can form all different types of specialized cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is Meristematic Tissue? Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli coined the term “meristem.” Meristematic tissue contains undifferentiated cells, which are the building blocks of the specialized plant structures.

Detailed explanation-4: -The function of meristematic tissue is to make plants grow. The cells of meristematic tissue are small and cubical. They also have thin cell walls. They are tightly packed with no intercellular spaces.
