The video tutorial explains meristematic tissue in plants, focusing on its role in growth. It describes the two main types: apical meristems, which contribute to lengthwise growth, and lateral meristems, which enable widthwise growth. The video also details the characteristics of meristematic cells, such as their ability to divide constantly, and highlights their structural features like a large nucleus and thin cell walls.
