What types of tissues do plants have?

All plant tissues that perform the same general function, regardless of position or continuity in the body, constitute a tissue system. Plant tissues are organized to form three types of tissue systems: dermal tissue systems, soil tissue systems, and vascular tissue systems.

Epidermal tissue system. The cells of the epidermis are parenchymal, have a protoplasm and a nucleus without intercellular spaces. The epidermis has numerous stomata. The main function of the stomata is the exchange of gases between the internal tissues and the external atmosphere.

The soil tissue system includes all tissues of the plant body except epidermal and vascular tissues. It is divided into the following parts: hypodermis, general crust, endoderm, pericardium, core.

The vascular tissue system consists of xylem and phloem tissues, which occur in filaments called vascular bundles. The main function of xylem is to carry water, materials to various parts of the plant’s body. The main function of the phloem is to transport food materials to different parts of the plant.
