Solution

The growth pattern of plants is very much different from that of animals. Plants can often grow continuously but animals grow to maximise their size. Plants mainly grow by cell enlargement but animals grow by increasing the number of cells.
No, all the parts of plants does not grow indefinitely. Xylem and phloem do not grow indefinitely.
