The paper presents an approach to three-dimensional visualization of idealized growth and division of the shoot apex meristem of a plant root based on simplification of cells to the form of non-complex polyhedrons rendered by a graphic library. The vertices of polyhedrons are processed by a growth algorithm, which determines their position in space and successively increases their size until the division criterion is fulfilled and division is triggered. The proposed method allows simulation of the aforementioned processes and observation of their characteristics through animation of a single cell or large sets of cells.
