(botany) The plant tissue composed of totipotent cells that allows plant growth.
Tunica-corpus model of the apical meristem (growing tip). The epidermal (L1) and subepidermal (L2) layers form the outer layers called the tunica. The corpus (L3) will form the vascular and stem tissues. Cells in the outer layers divide in a sideways fashion relative to each other, which keeps these layers distinct, whereas the lower layer divides in a more random fashion in all directions.
