Permanent
Apical meristem
New growth at the tips of stems and roots.
Plant stem cells
Lateral meristem
Divides in one plane across diameter
- only present in dicot
Interary meristem
Lofted in between permanent tissue
Types of perminent tissue

Collenchyma
Sclerenchyma
Parenchyma
Spherical cells that store food
Collenchyma
Found in hypodermis
Cubic cells with cellulose and pectin,
gives structural integrity
Sclerenchyma
Thick walled dead cells used to give support to plant
Types of complex permanent tissue
Xylem
Phloem

Conducts water and minerals
Phloem
Conducts dissolved food substances
