Question
In a growing plant the very first phase during the process of growth is-
- Cell division,
- Cell elongation,
- Cell differentiation,
- Cell maturation.
Answer
Cell division.
Explanation:
The process of growth in plants begins with the phase of cell division. During this phase, the cells divide rapidly and increase in number, which is essential for the subsequent phases of growth, such as cell elongation, cell differentiation, and cell maturation. Hence, option A (cell division) is the correct answer.
