    Plant tissues are composed of cells that form groups called tissues. Tissues are organized into organs like roots, stems, and leaves. Roots anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals while stems support leaves and transport materials. Leaves are the main photosynthetic organ. Plant tissues are categorized as dermal, vascular, and ground tissues. Meristematic tissue allows plants to grow throughout their lifetime.

    PLANT TISSUES
    PLANT BODY ORGANS S
    • Plants have organs that compose of different H
    tissue, which in turn are composed of cells of O
    different types. O
    T
    • A tissue is a group of cells with a common
    function, structure or both. S
    • An organ consist of several types of tissues that Y
    together carry out particular functions. S
    T
    E
    The THREE basis plant organs are: M
    • Roots
    • Stems R
    • Leaves O
    O
    T

    The ORGANS are divided into: S


    Y
    • The Root system (roots) S
    T
    • Shoot system (leaves and stems) E
    M
    ROOTS
    • Anchor plants
    • Root hairs absorb water and minerals.
    • Stores carbohydrates.
    STEMS
    • Consist of nodes (where leaves grow) and
    internodes.
    • The angle between the leave and the stem
    is called the axillary bud, this can form a
    lateral shoot.
    • The shoot tip consist of an apical (end)
    bud.
    • Stems support the leaves and lateral
    branches of a plant.
    • Stems keep the plant upright.
    a) Simple
    Leave
    LEAVES Petiole
    Axillary
    • Main photosynthetic part of bud
    the plant (in most vascular
    plants). b) Compound
    • Consist of a flattened blade leave Leaflet
    and a stalk, called a petiole.
    • Leaf shape differs: simple Petiole
    leaves (single leaf) and Axillary bud
    compound leaves (where
    the blade consist of smaller
    leaflets – leaflets have no c) Doubly
    axillary buds.) compound
    leave
    Leaflet
    Petiole
    Axillary bud
    Tissue categories
    in plants
    Each plant organ has:
    • dermal,
    • vascular and
    • ground tissues.
    Each of these three categories forms a tissue
    system.
    • The dermal tissue system is the plant’s outer
    protective covering.
    • In non-woody plants it is a single layer called
    the epidermis protected by a waxy layer
    called the cuticle found on stems and leaves.
    • In woody plants, the protective tissue is
    called periderm.
    • Some epidermal cells are modified to form
    hairs –
    • roothairs on roots and trichomes on leaves
    and stems.
    • The vascular tissue system carries out
    transport of materials between the root and
    the shoot system.
    The two types are xylem and phloem.
    • Ground tissue are neither dermal or vascular.
    • Internal ground tissue is called the pith.
    • Ground tissue that is external to the vascular
    tissue is called cortex.
    • Ground tissue includes various cells with
    specialized functions such as storage,
    photosynthesis and support.
    MERISTEMATIC
    TISSUE
    • A flowering plant has the ability to grow
    its entire life because it possesses
    meristematic (embryonic) tissue.
    • The apical meristem are located at or
    near the tips of stems and roots, where
    they increase the length of their
    structures by means of mitosis.
    • This increase in length is called primary
    growth.
    • Monocots also have an intercalary
    meristem, this allows them to regrow
    lost parts. (It is found between mature
    tissues). EXAMPLE: GRASS CUT -
    GROW
    APICAL MERISTEM
    • Produces three types of meristems,
    and these develop into the three
    types of specialized primary tissues
    in the body of the plant:
    • SPECIALIZED PRIMARY TISSUES:
    • Protoderm gives rise to the
    epidermis
    • Ground meristem produced ground
    tissue
    • Procambium produces vascular
    tissue
    FUNCTIONS OF SPECIALIZED
    TISSUES

    • Epidermal tissue: forms the outer


    protective covering of a plant.
    • Ground tissue fills the interior of a
    plant.
    • Vascular tissue transports water
    and nutrients in a plant and
    provides support.
