ground tissues
parenchyma
collenchyma
schlerenchyma
dermal tissue
epidermis
(also root hairs, other trichomes and stomata)
simple tissue
ground tissue and dermal tissue
compound tissues
vascular tissues
vascular tissues
xylem
phloem
xylem
transports water from roots to where its needed
mostly for photosynthesis (leaves)
phloem
from leaves to different parts to transport nutrients to be stored in different areas.
three tissue systems
ground tissue performs a variety of functions and makes up the bulk of the plant body
vascular tissue is responsible for transport in the plant
dermal tissue that covers the plant body
tissues consisting of only one cell type
simple tissues
tissues consisting of more than one cell type
compound tissues
herbaceous plants
covered with an epidermis
Woody plants
the epidermis tears and dries out, and eventually, a periderm (bark) is formed
functions of collenchyma
lends support
serves as strengthening
can photosynthesize
root hair cell
a finger-like outgrowth of a root epidermis cell
responsible for the absorption of water
drainage
is important with water in plants
