Summary Introduction
To distinguish:
Between the primary and secondary growth.
Introduction:
Growth of a plant is not limited, it occurs throughout the plant’s life. Plants have unspecialized, perpetually dividing tissues called meristems. Primary and secondary growth of plant cell comprises by the two types of meristems.
Apical meristems cause primary growth that occurs at the tips of roots and shoots. The primary growth produces new leaves and flowers.
Lateral meristems involve secondary growth that occurs at the cambium. The secondary growth produces bark on trees.
