Question

Which meristems give rise to parenchyma tissue?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

Two types of meristems can give rise to parenchyma tissue:

1. Apical meristems: They are located at the tips of roots and stems. These meristems differentiate into various types of parenchyma cells that perform different functions, such as storage, photosynthesis, and secretion.
2. Secondary meristems: They are located in the cambium and cork cambium. These meristems differentiate into parenchyma cells that make up the bulk of new secondary tissues, such as secondary phloem and xylem.

The meristem that gives rise to parenchyma tissue is the apical meristem. Apical meristem refers to the growth region found at the tips of roots and shoots in plants. It is responsible for primary growth, which involves the elongation of the plant body. Within the apical meristem, cell division occurs, and these newly formed cells differentiate into various types of plant tissues, including parenchyma tissue. Therefore, the apical meristem is the main meristem that gives rise to parenchyma tissue.
