PLANT TISSUES

PLANT TISSUES
In plants meristematic tissues are classified into three
types of permanent tissue.

Simple permanent tissue

Complex permanent tissue

Special or Secretary tissue

Common types of simple permanent tissues are
parenchyma, Collenchyma, Sclerenchyma.
Complex tissue is also known as vascular tissue. Common
types of complex tissue are Xylem and Pholem.

Parenchyma

Composed of cells with the simplest structure

Seen in the soft parts of the plant
Helps in photosynthesis and the storage of food

Collenchyma

Composed of cells that are thick only at the corners of the

cell wall
Provides flexibility and support to plant parts

Sclerenchyma

Composed of cells that are uniformed thick all over the

wall
Provides strength and support to plant parts

Xylem

Tubes formed from elongated cells

Transports water and minerals absorbed by the roots to
the leaves .
Has thick cell walls and therefore provide support and
strength to the plant.

Phloem

Composed of tubular inter connected cells.

Transports food synthesized in the leaves to various parts
of the plant body.
