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.

Types of Tissue in Plants

Meristematic Tissue

Meristematic plant tissue is different than all other plant tissue, in that it is the main growth tissue of the plant. All cells originate from one meristem or another. The apical meristem is the plant tissue which drives above ground growth, and decides the direction of the plant. Root meristems dig into the soil in search of water and nutrients. Subapical meristems divide the plant and carry leaves in different directions. Intercalary meristems provide growth from the middle of the plant, to extend the leaves upward into the sunlight.

Answer:

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. The following is a brief outline of plant tissues, and their functions within the plant.

Meristematic plant tissue is different than all other plant tissue, in that it is the main growth tissue of the plant. All cells originate from one meristem or another.

Subapical meristems divide the plant and carry leaves in different directions. Intercalary meristems provide growth from the middle of the plant, to extend the leaves upward into the sunlight.

Meristematic plant tissue, at the central point, is undifferentiated and ready to divide into any other type of plant cell. Meristematic cells divide asymmetrically. This means that one plant remains undifferentiated, while the other cell takes on a more specialized form. This cell will then continue to divide and develop into a plant tissue, which can help form a new organ, such as a leaf. In this way meristematic plant tissue is equivalent to animal stem cells. These cells are totipotent or pluripotent, meaning they can divide into many different types of plant tissue.
