Which meristems give rise to parenchyma tissue?

Answer 1

Two types of meristems can give rise to parenchyma tissue:
1. Apical meristems: They are located at the tips of roots and stems. These meristems differentiate into various types of parenchyma cells that perform different functions, such as storage, photosynthesis, and secretion.
2. Secondary meristems: They are located in the cambium and cork cambium. These meristems differentiate into parenchyma cells that make up the bulk of new secondary tissues, such as secondary phloem and xylem.
