Solution

Meristem which is found at either the root or shoot tip whose main function is to increase the length is called as apical meristem.

When plants begin flowering then the shoot apical meristem is transformed into an inflorescence meristem which produces floral meristem. Floral meristem leads to development of floral parts. It brings about determinate growth that is growth of a flower to a particular size and form.
