Meristem is a plant component consisting of undifferentiated plant issue - the botanical equivalent of animal stem cells.

A formative plant tissue usually made up of small cells capable of dividing indefinitely and giving rise to similar cells or to cells that differentiate to produce the definitive tissues and organs.
