Solution

The correct option is A
Apical Meristem

Apical meristem is responsible for the vertical growth of the plant. There are two types of apical meristem: shoot apical meristem (SAM), which gives rise to organs like the leaves and flowers, and root apical meristem (RAM), which provides the meristematic cells for future root growth.
