|
Basal meristem

|
|
Apical meristem
|

None of the above

Detailed explanation-1: -Apical meristem is present at the growing tips of stems and roots and increases the length of the stem and the root. The girth (width) of the stem or root increases due to lateral meristem.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Apical meristems contain meristematic tissue located at the tips of stems and roots, which enable a plant to extend in length.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lateral Meristems – The lateral meristems are present on the lateral side of the stem and root of a plant. These meristems help in increasing the thickness of the plants. The vascular cambium and the cork cambium are good examples of a lateral meristematic tissue.
Detailed explanation-5: -Apical meristem is responsible for increase in length of the plant.
