Posted July 10, 2024


Answer

Plant tissues can be broadly categorized into three types: 

  • Dermal
  • Ground
  • Vascular. 

Every plant organ, including leaves, stems, and roots, contain all three tissue types. Each type of plant tissue serves a distinct function essential for the plant’s development, growth, and survival.
