Study Notes

Apical Meristems

Found at the tips of shoots and roots, vital for plant growth.
Responsible for primary growth, leading to elongation of stems and roots.
Composed of undifferentiated cells that can divide and differentiate into various tissue types.
Play a key role in forming new leaves, flowers, and branches.
Essential for overall plant development, contributing to height and root depth.
Can respond to environmental stimuli, impacting growth direction and structure.
