Plants such as bamboo, hemp, and kenaf are used to create sustainable materials like bamboo flooring, hemp clothing, and kenaf insulation due to their fast regrowth rates and eco-friendly properties. These plants are renewable resources that require less water and pesticides compared to traditional materials like wood and cotton.

Meristems are areas of plant tissue where cell division occurs, allowing for growth and development of new plant tissues. They are responsible for producing new cells that differentiate into various plant organs such as roots, stems, and leaves. Meristems play a key role in plant growth by generating new cells for primary and secondary growth processes.

Yes, plant growth can occur at lateral buds. Lateral buds are potential sites for new shoot development and can give rise to branches or new stems. When activated, lateral buds can contribute to overall plant growth and branching.
Yes, you can plant a potato to grow a new plant. Potatoes have "eyes" or growth nodes from which new shoots will emerge. Planting a whole potato or a piece with an eye can both be used to grow a new potato plant.
Primary growth is characterized by the growth in length of a plant, primarily occurring at the apical meristems. This type of growth allows the plant to increase in height and produce new leaves, stems, and roots through cell division and elongation.
