NEET BIOLOGY

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

Detailed explanation-2: -Meristems are classified by their location in the plant as apical (located at root and shoot tips), lateral (in the vascular and cork cambia), and intercalary (at internodes, or stem regions between the places at which leaves attach, and leaf bases, especially of certain monocotyledons-e.g., grasses).

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
