Question
The lawn grass (Cynodon dactylon) needs to be mowed frequently to prevent its overgrowth. Which tissue is responsible for its rapid growth?

The meristematic tissue in lawn grass is responsible for its rapid growth. When the lawn is mowed, it destroys the apical meristem and thus prevents growth in height. But it promotes the growth of lateral branches; making the lawn more bushy.
