What is the region of rapid cell division (growth) in plants?
A
Guard
B
Stomata
C
Xylem
D
Meristem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The aerial parts of the plant are generated by groups of rapidly dividing cells called shoot apical meristems.

Detailed explanation-2: -The region of Meristematic Cells or Region of Cell Division Meristematic cells are found just a few millimetres over the root cap. The cells in this region are thin-walled with dense protoplasm. These cells divide actively.

Detailed explanation-3: -Primary meristems Protoderm: lies around the outside of the stem and develops into the epidermis. Procambium: lies just inside of the protoderm and develops into primary xylem and primary phloem. It also produces the vascular cambium, and cork cambium, secondary meristems.

Detailed explanation-4: -You’ll recall that the apical meristem is the site of cell division and new cell production at the tips of the plant stems and roots. The cells that make up the meristem are undergoing mitotic cell division to produce more cells. These new cells result in growth and development of plant tissues.
