dermal tissue structure and purpose
lines the outside of plants, covers and protects plants
vascular tissue structure and purpose
transports water and nutrients around the plants
ground tissue structure and purpose
the site of photosynthesis, a supporting matrix for the vascular tissue and storage of water and sugar
major organs of vascular plants
leaves, flowers, fruits, stems and roots
what are the xylem ad phloem
vascular tissues, they are held in vascular bundles
two roles of the root system
