D

apical merstems

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
c
Lateral meristems are present along the lateral sides of stem and root . They divide only in radial direction. The cambium of vascular bundles (fascicular , intrafascicular) and the cork cambium or phellogen belongs to this category and are found in dicotyledons and gymnosperms.
