Cells in meristematic tissue exhibit distinct characteristics. They are undifferentiated and possess a high rate of cell division, ensuring continuous growth. These cells have a small size and thin cell walls, enabling rapid cell division and efficient exchange of nutrients. They contain prominent nuclei and lack large central vacuoles, emphasizing their active metabolic state. Additionally, cells in meristematic tissue lack specialization and do not perform specific functions like those in mature tissues. The undifferentiated nature of meristematic cells allows them to give rise to various cell types, contributing to the development of different plant organs during primary and secondary growth.
