Detailed explanation-1: -Apical meristems differentiate into the three basic types of meristem tissue which correspond to the three types of tissue: protoderm produces new epidermis, ground meristem produces ground tissue, and procambium produces new xylem and phloem.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three types of tissue that arise during primary growth: dermal, vascular and ground.

Detailed explanation-3: -Primary growth is a result of rapidly-dividing cells in the apical meristems at the shoot tip and root tip. Subsequent cell elongation also contributes to primary growth. The growth of shoots and roots during primary growth enables plants to continuously seek water (roots) or sunlight (shoots).

Detailed explanation-4: -Meristems contribute to both primary (taller/longer) and secondary (wider) growth. Primary growth is controlled by root apical meristems or shoot apical meristems, while secondary growth is controlled by the two lateral meristems, called the vascular cambium and the cork cambium.

Detailed explanation-5: -They produce three types primary meristems: the protoderm, ground meristem, and procambium. The protoderm gives rise to epidermis, which surrounds the plant. The ground meristem gives rise to ground tissue, a group of tissues with generalized functions such as photosynthesis, storage, and support.
