Question

What Is Intercalary Meristem and How Does It Work?

Answer 1

Intercalary Meristem:

1. Meristematic tissue is plant tissue that may divide continuously throughout its existence.
2. The word "meristem" was created by Carl Wilhelm von Nägeli. Undifferentiated cells, which are the building blocks of specific plant structures, are found in meristematic tissue.
3. Meristematic tissues are made up of live cells that come in a variety of forms. They have a big nucleus without a vacuole. There is no intercellular gap between the cells. Meristem refers to the area where these cells occur.
4. Meristematic tissue cells divide rapidly to generate specialized structures such as leaf and flower buds, root and shoot tips, and so on. These cells aid in the growth of the plant's length and width.
