V Apical Meristems Lateral Meristems  Primary Lengthening Secondary

Apical meristems are responsible for primary growth (lengthening) at the tips of shoots and roots, producing new leaves and flowers, while lateral meristems (cambium) are responsible for secondary growth (widening), producing bark.
