Answer 1

Answer:

Rare species of plants can be cloned so they don't go extinct. To do this, stem cells are taken from the meristems of the plant.

Explanation:

Stem cells can be described as cells which are undifferentiated and have a capability to divide into specialized cells. In plants, the stem cells are located in the meristems of the plant. Out of these cells, all the specialized tissues and organs form in a plant.
