There are two main types of meristem:
* Apical meristem: Found at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for primary growth (elongation of the plant).
* Lateral meristem: Found in the vascular cambium and cork cambium, responsible for secondary growth (increase in girth of the plant).
So, while there are many regions in a plant that have specific functions, the meristem is the one that's solely dedicated to cell production.
