In plants, meristematic tissue is of three types

(I) Apical meristem - It helps to increase the length of root and stem.

(II) Lateral meristem - It is present only in dicot plants and helps to increase the girth of the stem.

(III) Intercalary meristem - It is present mainly above the nodes of monocot plants and helps to increase the length of the stem.
