Lateral Meristems
Lateral Meristems
These are types of meristems that contribute to the growth in width of stems and roots. This is referred to as 'secondary growth'.
Primary Growth
Primary Growth
The primary process of growth in plants that increases in length. It is associated with the growth of the shoot and the root.
Secondary Growth
Secondary Growth
The process of growth in plants that increases in width and girth. It is associated with the widening of stems and roots.
