Detailed explanation-1: -The meristematic tissue is usually found in the apices of the root systems and the shoots and is in a continuous state of division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meristematic tissues, or simply meristems, are tissues in which the cells remain forever young and divide actively throughout the life of the plant. When a meristematic cell divides in two, the new cell that remains in the meristem is called an initial, the other the derivative.

Detailed explanation-3: -A meristem is the tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plant where growth can take place. Meristematic cells constantly divide to give rise to various organs of the plant and keep the plant growing.

Detailed explanation-4: -Meristematic tissues are responsible for plant growth. They are present at the tips of roots, stem and branches. The cells present in these tissues constantly divide to produce new cells. This leads to an increase in the height and girth of plants.
