Detailed explanation-1: -In biology and botany, indeterminate growth is growth that is not terminated in contrast to determinate growth that stops once a genetically pre-determined structure has completely formed.
Detailed explanation-2: -The sigmoid curve of growth is characteristic of most organisms in their natural environment, including plants, as it maintains an equilibrium over a period of time.
Detailed explanation-3: -A determinate meristem usually produces a part of the plant that has a predictable size and form, such as the flower, whereas an indeterminate meristem produces parts of the plant that can grow for variable periods of time, and vary in size and shape dependent on the local environment (Sablowski et al., 2007).
Detailed explanation-4: -Indeterminate Plant Growth: Meristems Plants are able to continue growing indefinitely like this due to specialized tissues called meristems, which are regions of continuous cell division and growth.
