Apical meristem
Located at root and shoot tips and produce primary tissues are called apical meristems
#Id: 10662
Some cells ‘left behind’ from shoot apical meristem, constitute the axillary bud.
Such buds are present in the axils of leaves and are capable of forming a branch or a flower

Shoot apical meristem
shoot apical meristem, a dome-shaped mass of dividing cells at the shoot tip
#Id: 10664
Root Apical meristem
root apical meristem is a thimble-like root cap, which protects the delicate apical meristem as the root pushes through the abrasive soil
#Id: 10665
Root apical meristem
root cap secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root
