Intercalary growth , or insertion growth, occurs, for example, in plants of the Cereal family that have a hollow stem - a straw. These plants have an intercalary (insertion) meristem in the nodes, due to which the stem grows not only in the apex, but also in each node. Therefore, the stalks of cereals grow extremely fast. But some cereals have a stem filled with tissue, such as corn , sugarcane , etc.
