Primary Growth
Loading image...
Growth that occurs at the tips of the stems and roots of a plant
Real World Example
Imagine trying to find more space in a crowded closet; you start by adding extra shelves at the top or bottom because that's where there's room to expand. Similarly, plants experience primary growth by extending at the tips of their stems and roots, where there's potential for new growth. Just as adding shelves at the extremities of your closet maximizes space efficiently, plants grow at their outermost edges to reach new nutrients and sunlight, ensuring they thrive and develop in their environment.
