Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Just as in roots, primary growth in stems is a result of rapidly dividing cells in the apical meristems at the shoot tip.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primary growth in plant refers to the vertical growth of the plant. This is possible due to the fast profilerating apical meristem present on the tip of the shoot.
Detailed explanation-3: -Primary growth is the upward growth of the stem and the downward growth of the roots. It is the type of growth that makes a plant longer.
