Roots are pushed to grow further by the area of ____
A
growing cells
B
dividing cells
C
root cap cells
D
vascular tissue cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The zone of cell division is closest to the root tip and is made up of the actively-dividing cells of the root meristem, which contains the undifferentiated cells of the germinating plant. The zone of elongation is where the newly-formed cells increase in length, thereby lengthening the root.

Detailed explanation-2: -1). The zone of cell division is a continuation of the root cap; it is made up of the actively dividing cells of the root meristem. The zone of elongation is where the newly formed cells begin to increase in length, thereby lengthening the root.

Detailed explanation-3: -Above the root cap is primary meristem, where growth in length occurs.

Detailed explanation-4: -The root tip has overlapping zones: where cells divide, elongate, or form different specialized cells. At the very tip, the root cap protects the rapidly dividing cells known as the meristematic region or meristem (zone of cell division).
