Types of Plant Growth
Primary and Secondary Growth
The meristematic cells present at the root and shoot apices divide mitotically and increase the length of the plant body. This is known as primary growth. Secondary growth is referred to as the increase in the diameter of the plant body by the division of the secondary meristem.
Unlimited Growth
When the plant constantly grows from the germination stage to death, it is called unlimited growth.
Limited Growth
In this stage, the plant parts stop growing after attaining a certain size.
Vegetative Growth
It involves the production of stem, leaves, and branches, except the flowers.
Reproductive Growth
Flowering occurs at this type of growth stage.
