Meristematic tissue is a type of plant tissue that is actively dividing and found in specific regions of plants, including the tips of stems and roots, where it facilitates growth. It differentiates into permanent tissues, which contain non-dividing cells specialized for functions like support, storage, and transport. The two main types of plant tissues are meristematic and permanent tissues, which differ in their ability to divide and specialize into different simple and complex tissues that make up plants.

2.  Specific function is carried out by a cluster
of cells at a definite place in the body.
 Plant and animal consists
Of different types of tissues.

5. Difference between
meristematic and
permanent tissue

6. Meristematic Tissue
 It is a tissue, which is differentiated to other parts
and restricted to certain place of plant.
 It is divided into three main components based on
a specific region.
Apical meristem
• present at the growing tips of stems and roots and
increases the length of the stem and the root
Intercalary meristem
 meristem at the base of the leaves or internodes
(on either side of the node) on twigs

7. Lateral meristem (cambium)
 girth of the stem or root increases

8. Permanent tissue
• Tissues that contain nondividing cells. The cells are also
modified to perform specific functions in the plants. The cells
of the permanent tissue are derived from the meristematic
tissue.
Types
• Simple tissue
• Complex tissue

9. Feature Parenchyma Collenchyma Sclerenchyma
