What is meristematic tissue? Name its three types by position and state where each is found.

Meristematic tissue consists of cells that divide actively and have thin walls, dense cytoplasm and no vacuole. Apical meristem is at the tips of roots and shoots and increases length. Lateral meristem, the cambium, lies along the sides and increases girth. Intercalary meristem lies at the base of leaves or internodes, as in grasses.

No citable source has been recorded for this record. Treat it as practice material, not as fact.

Explanation

Permanent tissue is formed when meristematic cells stop dividing and differentiate.
