Expansion

It is a quantitative parameter that refers to an irreversible increase in size or weight of a cell, tissue, or organ. Plants are capable of continual growth due to the presence of meristematic tissues in certain parts of their bodies.

Growth can be measured by an increase in cell number, length, area, volume, and dry or wet weight.

Primary Growth: Apical Meristems of both Roots and Shoots are responsible for the Primary Growth.

Secondary Growth: Secondary growth is caused by lateral meristems, such as vascular and cork cambium. This growth leads to an increase in the plant’s girth.
