Question

Why is the region of maturation called so?

Answer 1

Maturation

1. Plant roots have an area where freshly formed roots mature and lengthen.
2. This region of roots is known as the region of maturation.
3. The elongation zone is near this root area.
4. It is a region in all plant roots where cells are created and differentiate into several cell types.
5. This zone is also known as the root-hair zone or differentiation zone.
6. The cells in the elongation zone eventually mature and differentiate.
7. As a result, this zone, which is closest to the region of elongation, is referred to as the maturation zone.
