The growth of plants occurs only in certain specific regions. This is because the dividing tissue, also known as '''meristematic tissue''', is located only at these points. Depending on the region where they are present,meristematic tissues are classified as '''apical,lateral and intercalary'''. New cells produced by meristem are initially like those of meristem itself, but as they grow and mature, their characteristics slowly change and they become diferentiated as components of other tissues.
