Explanation
The part of apical meristem which become separated from by permanent tissue called intercalary meristem. Intercalary meristem is a specialized type of meristematic tissue found in certain plants, particularly in grasses and monocots. Unlike the more well-known apical meristems found at the tips of roots and stems, intercalary meristems are located in the internodes, which are the regions between nodes on the stem. Intercalary meristems are typically located at or near the base of the internodes, often just above the nodes. Nodes are the regions where leaves, branches, or other structures arise from the stem.Intercalary meristems are responsible for elongating the stem.

About Growth and Development
Embryonic development covers fertilization, cleavage, formation of the blastula and gastrula, germ layers, organ formation and differentiation. Regeneration describes the replacement of lost tissues or body parts, whereas ageing involves gradual cellular and physiological changes linked to reduced repair, altered metabolism and declining organ function.
