Answer:
Tissue is defined as a collection of cells of similar
structure and function to carry out one or more particular functions.
Meristematic tissue is finding in living plant. Meristem consists of
unspecialized and actively dividing cells that give rise to cells that
differentiate into new tissue of the plant.
These cells are thin wall, isodiametric, abundant with cytoplasm and
very small vacuoles. Thus, meristematic cells are compactly arranged within the
tissue with no air spaces in between other plant tissues. Mitotic cell
divisions occur throughout the meristem. New cells will undergo differentiate
and grow so that become a specialized cells when mature. After then,
differently specialized cells group together to become variety of plant
tissues. Meristems are occurring at the tip of the shoot and root (apical
meristem)and lateral meristems in older plant like cambium. Apical meristems
are responsible for primary growth.
