Types of Plant Tissues
Professor Dave Explains・7 minutes read
Living organisms have cells that organize into tissues and then into organs, with plants having three main tissue types: ground, dermal, and vascular. Ground tissue includes parenchyma, dermal tissue forms the plant's protective epidermis, and vascular tissue, unique to vascular plants, transports water and nutrients through xylem and phloem.
Insights
- Ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue are the three main types of tissues found in plants, each serving distinct functions in the plant's structure and physiology.
- Xylem and phloem, components of vascular tissue, play vital roles in the transport of water, minerals, and sugars throughout the plant, highlighting the essential nature of vascular tissue in plant growth and development.

Plant Tissues and Their Functions
- Cells organize into tissues, then into organs in living organisms, including plants.
- Plants have three main tissue types: ground tissue, dermal tissue, and vascular tissue.
- Ground tissue consists of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma, with parenchyma being the most common.
- Dermal tissue forms the plant's protective "skin" called the epidermis, with specialized cells like guard cells and stomata.
- Vascular tissue, unique to vascular plants, includes xylem and phloem, responsible for water and nutrient transport.
- Xylem transports water and minerals upwards through capillary action, while phloem moves sugars produced in leaves to other plant parts.
