Plant growth is generally indeterminate, not determinate. This means that plants typically continue to grow as long as they live, unlike animals which have a determinate growth and stop growing after reaching a certain age or size. The meristematic tissues in plants (such as the apical meristem, lateral meristem etc.) allow for continuous growth and production of new cells. This is a key characteristic of plants. So, the statement that plant growth is generally determinate is incorrect.
