Summary Introduction
Introduction: There are two types of growth that occur in plants. One is primary growth that takes place in apical parts such as root and shoots. Another type of growth is secondary growth that occurs in the older parts of the plant. The two types of meristematic tissue that is responsible for the plant growth are apical meristem and lateral meristem.
