Meristematic tissue is just tissue that is capable of dividing. It can be found at the growing tips (roots and stems), at the base of some leaves, in the stems of woody plants (where it is called a cambium instead of a meristem), and a few other places.

A meristematic tissues have ability to divide growth is superior in these tissues

Meristemiatic tissue is the region of active cell division.
Cells are thin-walled and made up of cellulose. Cells are small and have prominent nuclei. They may be spherical, oval or polygonal in shape. Cells are compactly arranged and do not have intercellular spaces.
Cells contain dense or abundant cytoplasm and a single large prominent nucleus. Vacuoles are small or absent.Meristematic tissue is Located at the tips of roots and stems, base of node, base of internode or at the base of the leaf. It is also present between the wood and bark of trees.
Functions:
1.Different types of cells are produced through division and differentiation of meristematic cells.
2.The cells of meristematic tissue divide actively, resulting in growth (increase in thickness and length) of plants

Too long. This is better:
The wikipedia says this, though it won't take it as a link (Error 999):
"A meristem is a tissue in all plants consisting of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) and found in zones of the plant where growth can take place."
More there under "meristem."
There is apical meristem, ground meristem, lateral meristem, and primary meristem.
