apical meristem
A group of plant cells that are found at the growing tip of a root or a stem. These cells are capable of dividing indefinitely and their main function is the production of new growth.
apical meristem A meristem (embryonic tissue) at the tip of a shoot or root that is responsible for increasing the plant's length.

apical meristem A group of cells at the tip of the stem and root that give rise by cell division to the primary tissues and are ultimately responsible for the structural organization of the entire primary plant body.

You will find the apical meristem that develops into young leaves (primodium). There are other points of growth at each node where leaves and branches develop on the stems.
Plants, however, have an apical meristem located at the tip of every root and stem that remains totipotent. They have other meristems that are also totipotent.
