Intercalary meristem is located near the nodes in some plants and contributes to the elongation of stems and roots at specific points, allowing for continued growth and development.
Intercalary meristem is found at the base of leaves or internodes in certain plants, most notably in grasses and some herbaceous species. Its role in plant growth involves promoting growth in specific regions. Intercalary meristems contribute to the elongation of internodes, allowing the plant to adapt to environmental conditions and optimize resource utilization. They are particularly involved in regenerating tissues after damage, such as grazing or mowing in grasses. This type of meristem facilitates flexibility and resilience in plant growth, allowing for adaptive responses to various ecological factors and disturbances.
