They are also known as connectivity tissue in animals and vascular tissue in plants. Example of complex tissue is blood tissue.
Example of complex tissue is blood tissue.
Key Differences :
Simple tissue consist of one same type of cells while complex tissue have different type of cells.
Simple tissue consist of parenchyma, collenchymas and sclernchyma. While complex tissue consist of xylem and phloem.
Simple tissue occur in all parts of plant and complex tissue only occur in vascular region.
Simple tissue have wide distribution and complex tissue have restricted distribution.
Complex tissue carries out function of conduction or transportation.
Simple tissues perform wide range of functions.
The function of simple tissue is storage of food, while the function of complex tissue is protection.
Complex tissue prevent water loss and they even help in gaseous exchange.
