Plant Tissues

Tissue Types in Plants and Animals

Plant Tissues

Plant tissue is a collection of similar cells that perform a specific function. There are three main types of plant tissues: dermal tissue, vascular tissue, and ground tissue. Dermal tissue forms the outer layer of the plant and protects it from the environment. Vascular tissue transports water and nutrients throughout the plant. Ground tissue fills the space between the dermal and vascular tissues and provides support and storage.

Animal Tissues

Animal tissues are also collections of similar cells that perform a specific function. There are four main types of animal tissues: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. Epithelial tissue covers the surfaces of the body and lines the cavities of the body. Connective tissue supports and connects other tissues. Muscle tissue allows animals to move. Nervous tissue transmits information throughout the body.
