Summary Introduction

To mention: The two lateral meristems and describe the tissues that arise from each of them.

Introduction: In plants, the growth occurs throughout their life. This is because in plants, there is the presence of meristems. These meristematic cells divide continuously and lead to the formation of new cells, which are further elongated and differentiated. The two types of meristematic tissues that are responsible for the plant growth are apical meristem and lateral meristem.
