Detailed explanation-1: -The apical meristem, also known as the “growing tip, ” is an undifferentiated meristematic tissue found in the buds and growing tips of roots in plants. Its main function is to trigger the growth of new cells in young seedlings at the tips of roots and shoots and forming buds.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lengthening of the stem by apical meristem division is called primary growth. The three types of primary tissues are: protoderm. ground meristem. procambium.

Detailed explanation-4: -Root apical meristem serves as the source of new cells for root growth. In the root apical meristem, the stem cell niche sustains pluripotent stems cells to ensure a constant supply of cells for continuous root growth.
