Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A region of tissue at the tips of shoots and roots where rapid cell division occurs to make that part of the plant longer.
A
Apical meristem
B
Embryogenesis
C
Mitosis
D
Phloem
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -apical meristem, region of cells capable of division and growth in the root and shoot tips in plants. Apical meristems give rise to the primary plant body and are responsible for the extension of the roots and shoots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meristem Zones 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. Its main function is to trigger the growth of new cells in young seedlings at the tips of roots and shoots and forming buds.

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

Detailed explanation-5: -Meristem is a type of plant tissue consisting of undifferentiated cells that can continue to divide and differentiate. Apical meristems are found at the apex, or tip, of roots and buds, allowing roots and stems to grow in length and leaves and flowers to differentiate.
