Here's a breakdown:
* Epidermis: The outermost layer of cells, providing protection and covering the plant.
* Vascular tissue: Responsible for transporting water and nutrients throughout the plant (includes xylem and phloem).
* Ground tissue: Makes up the bulk of the plant and performs various functions like photosynthesis, storage, and support.
Ground tissue can be further divided into three types:
* Parenchyma: The most common type, involved in photosynthesis, storage, and gas exchange.
* Collenchyma: Provides flexible support, especially in young stems and leaves.
* Sclerenchyma: Provides rigid support and strength, often found in mature plant parts.
