PLANT TISSUES
A tissue is formed by a group of cells which are similar in structure and perform similar functions. There are two different types of tissues present in plants ; the simple tissue and the complex tissues. The meristematic tissue, the ground tissue, the dermal tissue are simple tissues whereas the vascular tissue is a complex tissue . THE TYPES OF SIMPLE TISSUES: I. MERISTEMATIC TISSUE These are called as the growing tissue in plants. They help in bringing about the growth in length and diameter in plants. The cells in these tissue are small ,with prominent nucleus and abundant cytoplasm. The cells are continuously dividing ,compactly arranged without any intercellular spaces. Depending upon the regions where these tissues are present, they can be classified as : APICAL MERISTEMATIC TISSUE These are present at the growing regions of shoot tip and root tip. They bring out the growth in length of plants. LATERAL MERISTEMATIC TISSUE These are present at the lateral sides of stem and ro
