Apical meristem located at the tips of roots and shoots and produce cells causing plant to become longer. Lateral meristem produce cells that increase the diameter of stems and roots. What"s the major difference between primary and secondary growth: primary growth in terms of elongation of the plant. Apical meristem: secondary growth that widens stem or root tissue. Describe the process of root primary growth in both the primary root and lateral roots: primary roots. Results from activity in 3 distinct regions. Zone of cell division root apical meristem, new root cells produced by mitosis. Zone of elongation roots cells elongate, pushing root tip into new soils. Zone of differentiation and cell maturation results in mature cells that produce the 3 fundamental tissue systems: lateral roots.
