it helps in formation of new vascular tissues..

Lateral meristem consisting of actively dividing vascular cambium
The meristematic region in the stem tip is referred to as the shoot apical meristem. Leaf primordia develop from the lateral flanks of the shoot apical meristem. They curve up during growth and the older larger primordia serve a protective function.
Two types of meristematic tissues are apical meristem, located at the tips of roots and stems, and lateral meristem, found in the lateral regions of stems and roots. These tissues are responsible for the growth and development of plants.
lateral meristem
The meristematic regions in plants are the apical meristem (found at the tips of roots and shoots), intercalary meristem (located at the base of leaves or internodes), and lateral meristem (responsible for increasing the girth of stems or roots). These regions are responsible for growth and cell division in plants.
If the apical meristem is damaged or cut, it may result in a loss of apical dominance, leading to the activation of lateral buds and the development of multiple stems. This can cause changes in the plant's growth pattern and structure.
The two kinds of meristems are apical meristem, located at the tips of roots and shoots, responsible for primary growth, and lateral meristem, found in the vascular cambium and cork cambium, responsible for secondary growth in plants.
