Question

Root apical meristem and shoot apical meristem are responsible for the growth of plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis. This growth is called

• A. Both B and C
• B. Secondary growth
• C. Indeterminate growth
• D. Primary growth

Answer 1

The correct option is D Primary growth

Root apical meristem helps to give rise to roots. Shoot apical meristem gives rise to the leaves and other aerial parts of the parts.

Thus shoot apical meristem and root apical meristem are contributing to the elongation of the plant along its axis.

Hence, it can be concluded that they help in the primary growth of the plant.
