Answer 1

Answer:

The protective tissue is those tissue, which is present in the outermost layer of the plant such as roots, stem, and leaves. Protective tissue prevents desiccation, mechanical injury, and infection in plants. They form a protective barrier which does not allow the entry of the pathogen into the plant.
