Chapter 35, Problem 4TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: In plants, the growth occurs throughout their life. This is due to the presence of meristems in the plants. These meristematic cells divide continuously and lead to the formation of new cells, which are further elongated and differentiated. The secondary growth of the plant tissues that arise at cylinders of the lateral meristem that runs lengthwise through older stem and roots.
