What is the zone of cell elongation?

The area where newly formed cells begin to elongate due to apical meristem activity is known as the zone of cell elongation.

Growing roots exhibit marked differences between different growth regions.

These areas are:

In order to create new cells, the cells in the meristematic zone are actively dividing mitotically.

The resulting zone is known as the zone of cell elongation, where the cells begin to elongate and transform into permanent cells.

The zone known as the cell differentiation zone or the zone of maturation occurs when the cells eventually stop elongating and acquire mature form and structure, transforming into distinct tissues.

The various growth phases of a growing root are represented by these growth zones.

The zone of cell elongation, which is directly behind the root cap and is in charge of root primary growth, is the area of plant roots where cells rapidly expand to increase in length.
