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.
