    Biology: Plant Tissues Meristematic Tissues

    Plant tissues are divided into meristematic tissues and permanent tissues. Meristematic tissues are actively dividing cells responsible for growth, and differentiate to form various permanent tissues. There are three types of meristematic tissues - apical meristem at shoot and root tips promoting elongation, lateral meristem along stems increasing thickness, and intercalary meristem at nodes enabling branching. Permanent tissues include simple tissues composed of one cell type, and complex tissues with combined cell types performing specialized functions like transport, storage and structure.

    Plant Tissues
    Meristematic tissues
    Meristematic tissues are seen in plants. They are primarily made up of rapidly dividing
    cells. They are the growing tissues of the plant.
    Permanent tissues
    Permanent tissues arise from the meristematic tissue and have structural and
    functional properties. Permanent tissue can be made up of either living or dead cells.
    Differentiation
    Differentiation is the process by which the meristematic tissues develop into different
    types of permanent tissues based on the location and requirement of the plant.
    Apical meristem
    Apical meristem are present on the apex of the plant shoot and root. They are rapidly
    growing tissues and aid in increasing the height of the plant.
    Lateral meristem
    Lateral meristem are present on the lateral walls of the stem. They help in the
    horizontal growth of the plant and increasing the stem girth.
    Intercalary meristem
    Intercalary meristem can be found between the nodes of the stem and the base of the
    leaf. They help in branching.
    Simple permanent tissues
    These are tissues that are made up of only one type of cells. They usually have
    structural role.
    Complex permanent tissues
    Complex permanent tissues are made by combination of different types of cells. These
    cells work together to perform a specific task.
    Parenchyma
    Parenchyma tissues are made up of loosely packed cells with thin cell walls and large
    intercellular spaces. They are live cells and help in support and storage. Two types;
    Chlorenchyma and Arenchyma.
    Collenchyma
    Collenchyma tissues are made up of live cells which have irregularly thickened corners
    and thus, have decreased intercellular spaces. They help in bending of various parts of
    the plant without breaking.
    Sclerenchyma
    Sclerenchyma tissues make up the hard and stiff parts of the plant. They are made up
    of dead, long and narrow cells. They almost have no intercellular space as the walls are
    thickened due to the presence of lignin.
    Phloem
    Phloem is made up of the following components – sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem
    parenchyma and phloem fibres. Phloem conducts food in both directions. Among all the
    components, phloem fibres are the only dead cells.
    Xylem
    Xylem is made up of the following components. The vessels and tracheids – help in

    conduction of water and minerals from the soil. Xylem parenchyma helps in food
    storage and the xylem fibres provide mechanical support.
