define plant tissue and explain meristimatic tissue
Answers
Answer.
Plant tissue...
Plant tissue is a collection of similar cells performing an organized function for the plant. Each plant tissue is specialized for a unique purpose, and can be combined with other tissues to create organs such as leaves, flowers, stems and roots...
meristematic tissue
The meristem is a type of tissue that occurs in plants. It consists of undifferentiated cells (meristematic cells) capable of cell division. Cells in the meristem can develop into all the other tissues and organs that occur in plants.
Answer:
Ͳissues are a group of cells performing a specific function. And plant tissues are the group os cells of plants performing specific functions like – transporting water, transporting food from one part to another part of plant and etc.
Plant tissues are basically of two types—
• Meristematic tissue (cells can multiply to produce new cells) ( Gk. meristos; divide)
• Permanent tissue ( non dividing cells and specialised)

Tissues which are found at the point of a flower, such as tip of roots, steams and branches. It is also responsible for the widening of a tree, it leads to the growth in diameter of the steam.
Meristematic tissues can also be divided into–
- Apical or terminal
- cambium or lateral meristem
Cʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀɪsᴛɪᴄs ᴏғ ᴍᴇʀɪsᴛᴇᴍᴀᴛɪᴄ ᴛɪssᴜᴇ :-
- cells are small
- cells are usually cubical
- cell wall is thin
- nuclei is large
- vacuoles are almost absent
- leads to the formation of mew cells
ᴘᴇʀᴍᴀɴᴇɴᴛ Tɪssᴜᴇ :-
These are made of cells which can not divide. These are cells with thick wall and generally used in supporting, conducting and protective purpose.
