Solution

The correct option is A

Meristem


Just below the root cap lies the apical meristem, a tissue of actively dividing cells. A meristem is a tissue in most plants containing undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells), found in zones of the plants where growth can take place. Meristematic cells give rise to various organs of a plant and are responsible for growth.
