Which one of the following is not a lateral meristem?

1. Intrafascicular cambium
2. Interfascicular cambium
3. Phellogen
4. Intercalary meristem

Correct answer: Intercalary meristem

Solution

Intrafascicular cambium, interfascicular cambium, and phellogen are lateral meristems because they contribute to secondary growth and increase thickness. Intercalary meristem is located at nodes or internodes and mainly helps in elongation, so it is not a lateral meristem.
