Apical meristem
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
#Id: 10663
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
#Id: 10666
Growth occurs just behind the tip in three overlapping zones of cells at successive stages of primary growth. These are the zones of cell division, elongation, and differentiation

Intercalary meristem
meristem which occurs between mature tissues is known as intercalary meristem
