Apical meristems are at the tips of parts that are growing longer - top of stem, end of branch, root tips, ...

They make new cells that result in primary growth.

Apical Meristem Location

An apical meristem is at the "apex" of the plant - usually the top, or most recent growth - thus the name. If there is meristematic tissue elsewhere, they are lateral meristems.
