Various Types of Plant Tissue

A tissue is a collection of cells working together to achieve a biological function. In plants, the tissue systems make up what is referred to as biomass. Various plant tissues produce energy by converting sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugar in a process called photosynthesis, transport water and nutrients throughout the plant, or provide protection to the plant's structure.
