Accepted Answer

Meristematic activity is responsible for the growth and development of plant structures, including the production of secondary xylem, which makes up the woody part of trees; leaves, which arise from shoot meristems; dermal tissue, which includes the epidermis and periderm and protects the plant from external damage; and tubers, which are specialized structures for storage of carbohydrates and arise from underground stem meristems.
