Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Meristematic tissue’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots. Lateral meristems are known as secondary meristems because they are responsible for secondary growth, or increase in stem girth and thickness.

Detailed explanation-3: -The function of meristematic tissue is to make plants grow. The cells of meristematic tissue are small and cubical. They also have thin cell walls. They are tightly packed with no intercellular spaces.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meristematic tissue is growth tissue and the location of most cell division. It is known as undifferentiated tissue because cells in the meristematic tissue will eventually become vascular, ground, or dermal tissue. Plants generally grow where meristematic tissue is present.
