Why is plant growth indeterminate?

(N/A) Plant growth is unique because plants retain the capacity for unlimited growth throughout their life.
This ability of the plants is due to the presence of meristems at certain locations in their body.
The cells of such meristems have the capacity to divide and self-perpetuate.
The product,however,soon loses the capacity to divide and such cells make up the plant body.
This form of growth,wherein new cells are always being added to the plant body by the activity of the meristem,is called the open form of growth.
The root apical meristem and the shoot apical meristem are responsible for the primary growth of the plants and principally contribute to the elongation of the plants along their axis.
In dicotyledonous plants and gymnosperms,the lateral meristems,vascular cambium,and cork cambium appear later in life.
These are the meristems that cause the increase in the girth of the organs in which they are active. This is known as secondary growth of the plant.
