The apical meristem of the root is present
- In all the roots
- Only in tap roots
- Only in adventitious roots
- Only in radicles
Answer
(1) In all the roots
Solution
As per NCERT, a few millimetres above the root cap is the region of meristematic activity; the root apical meristem occupies the tip of a root while the root cap covers it.
⇒ Every root (primary, tap, lateral or adventitious) grows in length by the activity of this meristem.
∴ The apical meristem of the root is present in all the roots.
