State
Apical meristems at stem and root tips extend a plant's length; lateral meristems thicken it; intercalary meristems, found only in monocots, elongate leaf bases.
Show
Intercalary meristem at the blade's base lets a mowed grass leaf regrow from below even after its tip is cut off.
Watch for
Only monocots carry intercalary meristem — a mowed dicot leaf cannot regrow the same way.
