Question

Leaves need to be elevated so they are exposed to sunlight for photosynthesis. Which part of the stem grows to make this possible?

Answer 1

The apical meristem part of the stem, which is located at the tip of the plant enables the growth of these leaves and is considered a primary growth. With this stem tip, meristemic cells are continuously divided and eventually increases the length.

Let me know if you need anything else. :)
