Summary Introduction

To review:

The meristem tissue and its types along with the role of the basic types of meristems in the development of the plant body.

Introduction:

A tissue is a group of cells that are similar in both function and structure. It works together in one or more tasks along with some intercellular substances. The plant tissues grow all their life. Unlike in animals, the tissue growth is slow and gradual and stops once the organism exceeds a certain size. This capacity of indefinite growth provides the plant an inordinate amount of functional and anatomical plasticity in order to reciprocate through the environmental influences like light, water, temperature, and nutrient supply.
