Answer 1

Answer:

Simple permanent tissues are again classified into three main types. They are parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.

Explanation:

Complex Permanent Tissue

The complex permanent tissues are made up of more than one type of cell. They coordinate together to perform the same specialized functions in the plant body. They are classified into two types – Xylem and Phloem

Xylem – The xylem tissue is responsible for the conduction of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and stem. It also provides support to the plants. It has four elements. They are tracheids, vessels, xylem parenchyma and xylem fibres.

Phloem – This complex permanent tissue helps in the translocation of food that is prepared by photosynthesis in the leaves to various parts of the plant. Phloem consists of four elements. They are sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibres and phloem parenchyma.
