Plant Tissues

* Tissues are a group of cells similar in structure and functions.
* Plant tissues include meristematic and permanent tissues.
* Permanent tissues often form protective covering in the form of epidermis and cork.
* Permanent tissues are of two types: simple and complex.
* Simple tissues include parenchyma, collenchymas and sclerenchyma.
* Complex tissues include xylem and phloem.
