Question
Chapter 25, Problem 5SA
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the given statement, “Lateral roots form at nodes on roots,” is true or not.
Introduction:
The lengthening in the plants determines its growth. The lengthening and growth of the plant occur due to the meristematic tissues in plants. Meristems are the mass of undifferentiated parenchyma cells, which start to divide during favorable conditions. Not all the meristem cells differentiate, but most of them divide to form specialized tissues in plants.
