On the basis of cell division, meristem are divided as
(i) Mass meristem-
- Cells of this tissue divides in all direction.
- These tissues form cells which are unspecified such as embryosac
(ii) Plate meristem-
- These cells form plate like structure by periclinal and anticlinal plane of division.
- This meristems form single layer of unseriate. Outer epidermis and mulilayer cells in leave
(iii) Rib meristem-
- This meristem divide by anticlinal division and form longitudional axis and form sap of stem and root.
