Question

The outermost primary meristem gives rise to

• A. Epidermis
• B. Procambium
• C. Ground meristem
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

All of the above

Apical meristem (found at the apex of stems and roots) and intercalary meristems (found at the base of internodes) are responsible for longitudinal plant growth or primary growth. There are two types of primary meristems which form different permanent tissues. Intrafascicular cambium (found in vascular bundles of dicot stems) is responsible for the radial or secondary growth of the plant. Intrafascicular cambium forms secondary vascular tissues and medullary rays
So, the correct answer is 'All of the above'
