Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Embryonic stem cells of animals are the most similar to the apical meristem cells of plants in that both are able to give rise to all the differentiated cell types of the developing organism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meristematic cells present in plants are like animal stem cells. They divide and develop into organs based on their location in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animals do not have meristematic tissues. Hence, the growth phase gets static after maturity in animals. However, cell division continues in our body to replace damaged and worn out cells in certain body parts. For example, continuous growth of nails and hairs signify cell division in epidermis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The meristem is a type of plant tissue that is made up of undifferentiated cells that are capable of dividing indefinitely. These meristematic cells are essentially stem cells that are clumped together and can develop into all other types of plant tissues and organs.
