Plant Tissues Types

All plant organs (roots, stems, leaves) are composed of the same tissue types.

Classification of Plant Tissues

COLLENCHYMA - الكولنشيمية األنسجة

SCLERENCHYMA - السكالرنشيمية األنسجة

PARENCHYMACharacteristics

least specialized cell typeonly thin primary cell wall is presentpossess large central vacuolegenerally alive at functional maturityThis tissue is found in the soft parts of the plant like the cortex(outer region) and pith (inner region) of the roots and stems.

Functionsmake up most of the ground tissues of the plantstoragephotosynthesiscan help repair and replace damaged organs by proliferation and specialization into other cells
