Solution

The correct option is C Calyptrogen
  • The root apical meristem gives rise to three primary meristems- procambium, ground meristem, protoderm and the root cap.
  • Calyptrogen is a specialized internal meristematic cell derived from the root apical meristem.
  • They divide internally to produce a protective cap-like structure at the root tip called the root cap.
  • Dermatogen, periblem and plerome are the three histogens derived from the shoot apical meristem.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Calyptrogen'
