4. Meristem
Meristem tissue is a group of cell that has active
cell division.
Characteristic of Meristem Tissue
1. Small cell’s size
2. Thin cell wall
3. Small vacuola
4. Rich in cytoplasm
5. The cell shaped in cubes or prisms.

6. Promeristem
Promeristem is meristematic tissue that has
existed in the plant since the embryonic level.
Primary Meristem
Primary meristem is meristematic tissue found in
adult plant and still actively does cell division
Secondary Meristem
Secondary meristem is meristematic tissue that
originated from primary meristem.
7. Apical Meristem
Apical meristem is a meristem that always found
at the tip of plant root and stem. It produces
elongation of the root and stem.
Intercalary Meristem
Intercalary meristem is meristematic tissue
located between primary tissue and adult tissue.
Lateral Meristem
Lateral meristem is meristematic tissue that
produces secondary growth.
