A root apical meristem is protected by a root cap as it pushes through the abrasive soil. The root cap also secretes a polysaccharide slime that lubricates the soil around the tip of the root.
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.

The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap
The root cap originates from the apical meristem in the plant. The root cap is directly responsible for gravity perception in the plant.

if the apical meristem is damaged or cut the plant will not show growth.
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.

Cell division takes place at the meristem, so these cells may be undifferentiated. The meristem helps the plant grow.
