also know as “the team of workers”
Tissues
is a cellular organizational level between cells
and a complete organ.
tissue
an ensemble of similar cells and their extracellular matrix from the same origin that together carry out a specific function.

2 types of plant tissue
Meristematic tissue
Permanent tissue
tissue is defined as a mass of young, immature and undifferentiated cells, which remain young forever and divide throughout the life of the plant.
Meristematic tissue
Greek for meristematic?
meristos
Meristos means?
divisible
Classification of Meristems
- Based on position in the plant body
- Based on the origin of formation
Classification of Meristems :
(a) Based on position in the plant body
Apical meristems
Intercalary meristems
Lateral Meristems
occur in shoot and root tips
Apical meristems
2 types of apical meristem tissue
Shoot and root apical meristem
-Occur in mature regions of shoot and roots
-Called secondary meristems
Lateral meristems
-Occur between mature tissues
-Regenerate the parts removed by grazing animals in grasses.
Intercalary meristems
Classification of Meristems :
(b) Based on the origin of formation
Promeristems
Primary meristems
Secondary meristems
-Meristematic tissue that has existed in the plant since the embryonic level.
-Location : Extreme tip of stem and root.
-Function : Forms primary meristem later the primary structure of the plant body.
Promeristems
-Meristematic tissue found in adult plant and still actively does cell division.
-Location : Seen just below promeristem.
-Function : Forms the primary structure of the plant body.
