Enumerate the characteristics of growth.

Explanation

• Growth increases in protoplasm at cellular level.
• Stem and roots are indeterminate in growth due to continuous cell division and is called open form of growth. The primary growth of the plant is due to the activity of apical meristem where, new cells are added to root and shoot apex causing linear growth of plant body.
• The secondary vascular cambium and cork cambium add new cells to cause increase in girth.
• Leaves, flowers and fruits are limited in growth or of determinate or closed form growth.
