Detailed explanation-3: -Tissues made up of actively dividing cells are called meristematic tissues or meristems. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meristematic tissue consists of actively dividing cells found in root and shoot tips. As growth occurs, meristematic tissue differentiates into permanent tissue, which is categorized as either simple or complex.
