Regeneration of damaged growing grass following grazing is largely due to:

1. Secondary meristem
2. Lateral meristem
3. Apical meristem
4. Intercalary meristem

Correct answer: Intercalary meristem

Solution

Intercalary meristems are found at the bases of leaves and internodes in grasses, so they often survive grazing. They can quickly divide and replace lost tissue, allowing rapid regeneration.
