• Plant tissues are a group of cells that perform specific functions such growth,
support and transport. Plant tissues are divided structurally into active
dividing tissues (meristematic) and specialized, non-dividing mature tissues
(permanent).

MERISTEMATIC TISSUE PERMANENT TISSUE
✓ Apical meristem
✓ Intercalary meristem
✓ Lateral meristem
SIMPLE COMPLEX
✓ Parenchyma ✓ Xylem
✓ Collenchyma ✓ Phloem
✓ Sclerenchyma
Apical meristem
(increases height)
Intercalary meristem
(increases internode
length)
Lateral meristem
(increases thickness)
