The apical meristem in the root:
|
|
is located behind the root cap
|

|
produces cells which become incorporated into the root cap
|
|
|
gives rise to the primary meristematic tissues
|
|

is a region of active cell division

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The meristems which occur at the tips of roots and shoots and produce primary tissues are called apical meristems. Hence apical meristem is present in all root and shoot tips.
Detailed explanation-2: -All plants exhibit at least one form of apical meristem consisting of one or more cells that are functionally analogous to metazoan stem cells because they are histogenetic, i.e., able to generate specialized tissues.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apical meristems are specialized zones of growth found at the tips of plants. These are responsible for the extension of shoots and roots and are also responsible for the primary plant body.
