To grow and to regenerate
Meristem tissue is capable of cell division and differentiation in plants. This tissue helps in the growth and development of new plant cells and tissues.
Meristematic tissue develops into epidermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue. Epidermal tissue forms the outer layer of the plant, vascular tissue conducts water and nutrients, and ground tissue provides support and storage.
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.
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 growth tissue behind the root tip in plants is called the meristem. Its function is to continuously produce new cells for root growth and development.

The root cap is the growth tissue that remains just behind the root tip. It protects the delicate meristem as the root pushes through soil and aids in root growth by secreting lubricating substances.

root cap: is a section of tissue at the tip of a plant root meristem: is a tissue in a most plant consisting undifferiantiated cells
The term "meristem" was coined by Swiss botanist Karl Wilhelm von Nägeli in 1858. Meristems are regions of plant tissue containing undifferentiated cells that are responsible for growth and development.
A stem apex refers to the tip of a plant's stem where the newest growth occurs. It is responsible for the plant's upward growth and the production of new leaves and flowers. The stem apex contains meristematic tissue that allows for continuous growth.
An axillary meristem is a type of plant tissue located in the axil of a leaf. It is a dormant or active region of cell division that can give rise to new stems, leaves, or flowers. Axillary meristems are responsible for branching and overall plant architecture.
