In botany, a plant cell or structure that develops from the apex or top of another cell during growth.
From Greek akron 'peak, summit' + blastos 'germ, sprout.' Combines the root for 'highest point' with the root for 'new growth.'
Plants grow in fascinating ways—the acroblast is literally a 'peak-sprout,' a new cell that buds from the very tip of another cell, like how plants reach upward.
