Tissue:

  1. A collection of cells with similar structures and functions is referred to as a tissue.
  2. The tissue present at the ends of roots is referred to as the root apical meristem.

Meristem:

  1. Growth in plants is largely restricted to specialised regions of active cell division called meristems.
  2. The three types of meristems in plants are Apical, Intercalary, and Lateral meristems.

Apical Meristems:

  1. It occurs at the tips of roots and shoots.
  2. It produces primary tissue.
  3. The tip of a root is occupied by the root apical meristem.
  4. This tissue is responsible for constant growth of the plant due to cell division.
