Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -These regions of active cell division in plants are found in the growing tips of roots and stems, and they are called apical meristems.
Detailed explanation-2: -The apical meristem, just beneath the root cap, contains most of the root’s dividing cells. Therefore, cells in this area must complete the cell cycle often.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cell division occurs in the apical meristem.
Detailed explanation-4: -The tip of the root is covered by a thimble-shaped structure known as root cap, which helps to protect the growing tip as it makes its way through the soil. Just behind the root cap lies the tissue called apical meristem, a tissue of actively dividing cells.
