Plant Tissues

The internal tissue systems that make up a flowering plant.

Meristematic and Permanent Tissues

  • Meristematic tissue — actively dividing cells responsible for growth
  • Permanent tissue — cells that have stopped dividing and taken on a specific function

Tissue Systems

Plant tissues are organised into the epidermal, ground (fundamental), and vascular tissue systems — the latter consisting of xylem (water transport) and phloem (food transport).
