An apical meristem is of each root tip is a dividing zone that forms new cells in two directions. The meristem produces new cells in front of itself that become a loose fitting rootcap. Layers of cells in this cap are continually brushed off as the root elongates between soil particles. The cap is perpetually renewed by tiers od cells being formed and pushed down from the meristem.
The apical meristem, or the growing tip, is undifferentiated meristematic tissue in plants that is found in the buds and growing tips of roots. Its main function is the growth of new cells in young seedlings at the tips of roots and shoots. In other words, it forms buds.
Meristems are found in the buds and growing tips of roots in plants. (Apexial meristem)
Apical meristems are at the tips of parts that are growing longer - top of stem, end of branch, root tips.
just behind the root tip
Apical part of plants and root tips
Often found in the tip of plant root
It helps it to grow. There are 3 meristem. They are: 1)Apical meristem 2)Intercalary meristem 3)Lateral meristem
The point of the root meristem is called the root apical meristem, or the apex. The apex of the root meristem is covered by the root cap, which protects and guides its growth trajectory.
Cell division takes place at the meristem, so these cells may be undifferentiated. The meristem helps the plant grow.
the apical meristem
if the apical meristem is damaged or cut the plant will not show growth.
Often found in the tip of plant root
in the bottom of the nucleolus :-D

The meristem is the location at which new growth of the shoot and the tips of a coleus root takes place. Mitosis occurs in the undifferentiated cells found in the meristem.
Cell division takes place at the meristem, so these cells may be undifferentiated. The meristem helps the plant grow.
Apical meristem is found at the tip of the root and shoot and is made of cells that divide at a rapid pace. The apical meristem helps the plant to grow up above the soil and down into the ground. This growth is called primary growth.
the apical meristem
Groups of cells that are the source of new cells form tissue called meristem. Meristem cells aren't specialized, but when they divide, some of the new cells specialize into tissues. Areas of growth that lengthen the tips of roots and stems are called apical meristems. Lateral meristems, found all along woody roots and stems, increase the thickness of these plant parts.
if the apical meristem is damaged or cut the plant will not show growth.
Intercalary meristem helps in longitudinal growth of plants . It is present at the base of leaves and internodes.
Meristematic. "A meristem is a tissue in all plants consisting of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) and found in zones of the plant where growth can take place." - Wiki entry on Meristem. The are not undifferentiated. This is what the question means by 'perpetually young'.
