Question
If the tip of sugarcane plant is removed from the field, even then it keeps on growing in length. It is due to the presence of
Options
cambium
apical meristem
lateral meristem
intercalary meristem
Solution
intercalary meristem
Intercalary meristem is present at the base of internodes or at the base of nodes and at the base of leaves. This meristem brings about elongation (growth in length) of the part of the plant in which it is present. So even if the tip of the sugarcane plant is removed i.e. apical meristem is removed, it keeps on growing in length due to the activity of intercalary meristem.
