Best answer
(i) In flowering plant, apical meristems are present at tips of branches of the plants and their removal will stop the further longitudinal growth of the plants.
(ii) Meristems are tissues present in plants and are composed of rapidly dividing cells with dense cytoplasm.
(iii) Meristems are growth tissues and are classified on the basis of their position in the plant body. They are of three main types: apical meristem (at growing ends of stems and roots), lateral meristems (i.e., cambium for secondary growth ) and intercalary meristem ( at base of leaves or at internodes of grasses).
