Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
The stem grows by means of a single apical meristem.
It is located at the stem tip.
The apical cell is pyramidal in shape.
It cuts off segments parallel to its three sides.
Each segment divides into an inner and outer part.
The inner layer divides to give rise to the major part of the stem.
The outer part forms the leaves, buds, and the outer part of the stem.
