Detailed Solution

Concept: A plant's stem develops lateral buds and leaves at intervals known as nodes. The spaces on the stem between the nodes are known as internodes.
The intercalary meristem's activity is what causes the petiole's duration to lengthen. They are known as primary meristems because they support the basic growth of plants, particularly plant lengthening.
The side of the stems and roots are where the lateral meristem is located. It aids in increasing the plant's thickness. The apical meristem, which is located at the terminals of the roots and shoots, helps the plants grow taller.
Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
