Dear student

(c) localised and dividing cells

Growth in plants is restricted to certain regions, because the dividing cells or meristematic cells are localised and not distributed throughout the plant body. The growth due to meristematic cells occurs by an increase in number of cells and not by increase in volume of existing cells.

The characteristics of meristematic tissue are as follows:

thanks
  1. The cells of these tissues are commonly called meristems.

  2. The meristematic tissue has the quality of self-renewal. Every time the cell divides, one cell remains identical to the parent cell, and the others form specialized structures.

  3. They have very small and few vacuoles.

  4. The meristematic tissue is living and thin-walled.

  5. The protoplasm of the cells is very dense.

  6. The meristematic tissues heal the wounds of an injured plant.

  7.
