Here's why:
* Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function.
* Organs are made up of different tissues that cooperate to carry out a more complex function.
For example, the heart is an organ. It contains:
* Muscle tissue for contraction and pumping blood.
* Connective tissue to provide structure and support.
* Epithelial tissue lining the chambers of the heart.
* Nervous tissue to regulate the heart's rhythm.
So, the various tissues working together create the complex functionality of an organ.
