Plant Tissue Types
This is responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the plant.
Xylem
This tissue type helps in structural support for the plant and is flexible.
Collenchyma
This structure is the main site for photosynthesis in most plants.
Leaf
This region of the plant is responsible for the growth in length and is found in the roots and shoots.
Apical Meristem
This structure is the female reproductive organs.
Pistil
This type of tissue is involved in transporting sugars and other organic compounds throughout the plant.
Phloem
This tissue helps reduce water loss by forming a protective outer layer.
Epidermis
The function of this structure is to anchor the plant to the soil and absorb water and nutrients.
Root
This tissue is responsible for the lateral growth and thickness in stem and roots.
Cambium
This structure is the male reproductive organs.
Stamen
These cells provide support in the plant and are often dead at maturity.
Sclerenchyma
This tissue is found in vascular bundles and plays a role in both mechanical support and transportation of water and minerals.
Xylem
This structure helps transport water, nutrients, and sugars throughout the plant.
Stem
This structure is the key component for the growth and survival of the plant. It determines the plant's overall shape
Axillary Bud
This structure is what draws the attention of bees and is usually a bright color.
Petals
This type of tissue is responsible for cell division an growth.
Meristematic Tissue
This tissue is typically found in fast-growing plants like grasses, aiding in recovery and growth after grazing or cutting.
Intercalary Meristem
This structure surrounds the plant cell, provides support, and regulates what enters and exits the cell.
Cell Wall
This process allows produce new cells for growth and is triggered by the division of meristem cells.
Cell Division
This structure protects the flower until it is done developing.
Sepal
This plant tissue type is involved in photosynthesis and is located in the leaves and stems.
Parenchyma
This meristematic tissue is responsible for the elongation of stem and roots.
Apical Meristem
This plant structure is responsible for the reproduction of new plants.
Flower
This is where the attachment of leaves and the development of reproductive structures like flowers are located.
Node
This structure holds the leaf up and increases the surface area.
