Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These regions of active cell division in plants are found in the growing tips of roots and stems, and they are called apical meristems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Plant cells divide in two by constructing a new cell wall (cell plate) between daughter nuclei after mitosis. Golgi-derived vesicles are transported to the equator of a cytoskeletal structure called a phragmoplast, where they fuse together to form the cell plate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The tip of the root is protected by the root cap, a structure exclusive to roots and unlike any other plant structure. The root cap is continuously replaced because it is easily damaged as the root pushes through soil.
