Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The growth in terms of the thickness of the plant confers to the secondary growth. In contrast to the primary growth, where both shoot and root of the plant grow, in secondary growth only root of the plant grows along with the stem. It involves the division of the lateral meristem cells.
