Parts | Zone of root | Feature | Functions | |
(a) | (A) | Meristematic zone | Thin walled cells, light cytoplasm | Cell division, secondary growth |
(b) | (B) | Zone of cell elongation | Vacuolated cells | Root growth occurs in length |
(c) | (C) | Maturation zone | Differentiated cells | No mitotic division and form root hair |
(d) | (D) | Zone of cell division | Thick walled cells, big nucleus, light cytoplasm | Primary growth of plant |
