Detailed Solution

apical meristem	Found in the shoot and root apices, Apical and intercalary meristems promote the longitudinal growth (growth in length) of the plant organ,
intercalary meristem	a group of meristematic cells inter- calated between mature tissues usually derived from shoot apical meristem.
lateral meristem	vascular cambium within the vascular tissue running parallel to the long axis of the stem and root of dicot and gymnosperms, promote growth in girth or latitudinal growth.
axillary buds	the left-over cells of shoot apical meristem in leaf axils
