Detailed explanation-1: -These regions of active cell division in plants are found in the growing tips of roots and stems, and they are called apical meristems.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant tissue systems fall into one of two general types: meristematic tissue and permanent (or non-meristematic) tissue. Cells of the meristematic tissue are found in meristems, which are plant regions of continuous cell division and growth.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell division occurs in the apical meristem. The root has an outer layer of cells called the epidermis, which surrounds areas of ground tissue and vascular tissue.

Detailed explanation-4: -The tip of the root is protected by the root cap, a structure exclusive to roots and unlike any other plant structure. The root cap is continuously replaced because it is easily damaged as the root pushes through soil.
