- Meristem is the region marked by the presence of active cell growth and the tissues present in meristem are termed as meristematic tissues.
- On the basis of their position in the plant body, meristems are grouped as apical, lateral or intercalary meristem.
- Stem has apical meristem in the shoot apex, intercalary meristem in nodes and lateral meristem in form of cambium in vascular bundles.
- Roots have apical meristem root apex and lateral meristem in form of cambium in vascular bundles. Shoot and root tips are the growing tips of a plant. Due to presence of root cap in terminal position, root apical meristem is subterminal in position thus, not all the growing tips have meristem.
