(N/A) Growth is defined as an irreversible permanent increase in the size of an organ or its parts or even an individual cell. In plants,growth is generally indeterminate because plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life. This is due to the presence of meristems at certain locations in the plant body. The cells of such meristems have the capacity to divide and self-perpetuate. The product of these divisions soon becomes part of the plant body. Therefore,the growth of plants is not limited to a specific period or size,making it 'indeterminate' rather than 'immeasurable'.
