Solution
Differentiation of cells present away from the root apical:
Cells present away from the root apical meristems differentiate into root cap cells.
At maturity, the cells developing from meristematic cells (actively dividing cells) of a plant have different structures.
The final structure of a cell at maturity can also be defined by its location.
Cells located away from the root apical meristems, for example, differentiate into root cap cells, while those located closer to the periphery differentiate into the epidermis.
