Question

What are the meristems occurring between mature tissues called?

Answer 1

Meristems occurring between mature tissues are called intercalary meristems.

Meristems:

1. Meristems are the plant's specific active areas, where cells divide rapidly. There are several types of them.
2. Primary meristems include apical and intercalary meristems.
3. Intercalary meristems are specialised cells found in the spaces between mature tissues.
4. Intercalary meristems can be found in the sugarcane culm.
5. The length of the internodes in the sugarcane culm varies due to intercalary meristems.
