Meristematic tissue that helps to increase the thickness/girth/width of the stem or root.

Characteristics of Meristematic Tissues

living cells, dense protoplasm, thin cell walls, large nuclei, absence of vacuoles, tight cell packing, high metabolic activity, active cell division.

Animal Tissues

Tissues in animals, characterized by living cells and targeted organization for high mobility.
