Meristematic cells are undifferentiated plant cells that are actively undergoing cell division. Characteristics of these cells include dense cytoplasm, thin primary cell walls (as they are rapidly growing and dividing), relatively large and prominent nuclei (controlling the cell cycle), and usually small or absent vacuoles, which would otherwise occupy significant volume and potentially hinder rapid division.
