CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The root apical meristem, or root apex, is a small region at the tip of a root in which all cells are capable of repeated division and from which all primary root tissues are derived. The root apical meristem is protected as it passes through the soil by an outer region of living parenchyma cells called the root cap.

Detailed explanation-2: -The apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stems and roots. The main function of apical meristem is to trigger the growth of new cells in young seedlings at the tips of roots and shoots and forming buds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The apical meristem is a type of meristematic tissue that occurs at the terminal parts of the plant such as root tips and shoot apex.

Detailed explanation-4: -Complete Answer: Option A: Root apical meristem is a small portion present at the tip of the root. The cells present in this region are capable of dividing repeatedly. These cells are the source of all primary root tissues.

Detailed explanation-5: -The shoot apex is the tip of the stem, which contains meristematic cells and the region of growth. It develops into lateral branches, leaves, flowers, etc. The size, shape, organisation, pattern of tissue differentiation, etc. all vary in different plant groups such as pteridophytes, gymnosperms and angiosperms.
