Question

Permanent Tissue

Have you ever wondered how the tips of tall plants get water that is absorbed by the roots, deep down in the ground? Is there any special mechanism by which this happens? Well! It is not exactly a mechanism, but a group of specialized cells and tissues that help to carry out this function. You have already learned about one type of plant tissue, i.e. the Meristematic Tissues(Read). Plants also have other types of tissue called the permanent tissue in them. It is one of these tissues that help in the movement of water from the root to the stem.

Permanent Tissue in Plants

In simple words, the permanent tissues in a plant are those tissues that contain nondividing cells. The cells are also modified to perform specific functions in the plants.  The cells of the permanent tissue are derived from the meristematic tissue.

The permanent tissue cells are also fully differentiated. The cells are large and a definite shape and size. You can see intercellular spaces being present in between the cells. Large vacuoles are also present inside these cells. The metabolism that occurs in the cells of the permanent tissue is fairly at a lower rate.

The permanent tissue in plants mainly helps in providing support, protection as well as in photosynthesis and conduction of water, minerals, and nutrients. Permanent tissue cells may be living or dead.
