Ankit, a Xl class student was continuously listening to his sister and her friend's discussion about the growth of plant. They were discussing that plant growth involves three phenomena, i.e., differentiation, dedifferentiation and redifferention. Listening this Ankit interrupted them in between and asked her sister to elaborate the things in detail and the basic phenomenon behind it. As the topic was the part of the Ankit's syllabus also. Her sister explained him that the cells in plant undergo differentiation to attain a maturity in order to perform specific functions.
