what is the meaning of :intercalary meristems are remians of apical meristem between permanent tissues and internodes?

Open in App

Solution

Intercalaray meristems are intercalated in between the permanent tissues. They are present either at the node as in Grasses, Bamboos and Mints or at the base of leaf as in Pinus. They originate from the apical meristems during development. Hence, these are also called as detached meristem or remains of apical meristem.
