- Occurs at tips of shoots and roots in the meristematic tissues of apical meristem
- At the apex there is a zone of cell division/mitosis
- Cells elongate at elongation zone
- The elongated cells differentiate at the region of differentiation resulting in increase in
size
- In the stems meristems give rise to leaf premodia which envelop the apex to form a bud
- The bud protects the delicate inner cells
