Detailed explanation-1: -The sigmoid curve of growth is characteristic of most organisms in their natural environment, including plants, as it maintains an equilibrium over a period of time.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants possess different stages of growth and development at any point of time, due to its capacity for unlimited growth. This unique ability of plants, is due to the presence of special cells that have the capacity to divide and self-perpetuate called meristems.
Detailed explanation-3: -A determinate meristem usually produces a part of the plant that has a predictable size and form, such as the flower, whereas an indeterminate meristem produces parts of the plant that can grow for variable periods of time, and vary in size and shape dependent on the local environment (Sablowski et al., 2007).
Detailed explanation-4: -Whereas indeterminate growth is the growth that doesn’t stop with time and hence also known as an open form of growth. For example, shoots and roots of a plant.
