Detailed explanation-1: -apical meristem, region of cells capable of division and growth in the root and shoot tips in plants. Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots.
Detailed explanation-2: -Apical meristems occur at the growing shoot and root tips (Figure 20.21). Root apical meristems produce the root cap, which consists of lubricated cells that are sloughed off as the meristem is pushed through the soil by cell division and elongation in more proximal cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apex in Plants The rising terminal portions of the stem and roots in plants are known as the apex. The apical portion of the stem is known as ‘Shoot Apex, ’ while the apical portion of the root is known as ‘Root Apex. ‘ The ‘Apical Meristem’ is a meristematic tissue found at the apex of both the stem and the base.
Detailed explanation-4: -An apical cell is a cell that divides repeatedly to form new cells. An apical cell has a front face and up to three rear faces. All cell division takes place along the rear faces and never along the front face.
