The part of the root that promotes root growth as they divide are called: ____
A
growing cells
B
Root Apical Meristem
C
Stem Apical Meristem
D
Root Cap Cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The root apical meristem, or root apex, is a small region at the tip of a root in which all cells are capable of repeated division and from which all primary root tissues are derived. The root apical meristem is protected as it passes through the soil by an outer region of living parenchyma cells called the root cap.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary growth is the increase in the length of root and shoot. It is the result of cell division of apical meristem. So, the correct option is ‘Primary growth’.

Detailed explanation-3: -Apical meristem: These meristems are present at the tip regions of root, shoot, and leaves. They are the active regions in the cell division which helps in the growth and the elongation of root and shoot. It gives rise to new leaves and hence these are referred as primary tissues in the plant growth.
