Solution

1: Definition
Growth is defined as the fundamental characteristic of every living organism. It is a permanent and irreversible increase in the size of an organ or even an individual cell.

2: Plant growth
Plants undergo indeterminate growth unlike animals. They have the capacity to grow throughout their life due to the presence of meristems (cells with dividing ability) in some locations in their body.
