  • Meristematic Cells: The Engine of Plant Growth | [Your Brand/Website Name]
    The cells that multiply and produce growth at various parts of a plant are called meristematic cells.

    Here's why:

    * Meristematic cells are undifferentiated cells with the ability to divide and differentiate into specialized cells.

    * They are responsible for primary growth, which increases the length of the plant (roots and shoots), and secondary growth, which increases the width of the plant (woody stems and roots).

    * Apical meristems are found at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for primary growth.

    * Lateral meristems are found in the cambium layer, responsible for secondary growth.

    So, whenever you see a plant growing taller, wider, or developing new roots, you can think of meristematic cells hard at work!
