Which cells are present in the plants root and shoot tips that can divide and grow?

The apical meristems are areas of undifferentiated, actively dividing cells located at the tips of plant roots and shoots. They are responsible for primary growth, which is the increase in length or height of the plant.

As the cells in the apical meristem divide, some daughter cells remain in the meristem to maintain their growth and activity, while others differentiate into specialized cell types that make up the plant body. In this way, the apical meristems are responsible for the formation and growth of the primary plant body, including the elongation of roots and shoots.
