Explore the structure and function of plant tissues. Understand meristematic tissues that drive growth and permanent tissues that form plant organs and systems.
Xylem is responsible for transporting water and minerals from roots to other parts of the plant.

Collenchyma provides mechanical support while allowing flexibility in young stems and petioles.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Meristematic and Permanent Tissues - Simple and Complex
Phloem transports organic nutrients such as sucrose. Sieve tube elements lack nuclei and function with the help of companion cells.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Meristematic and Permanent Tissues - Simple and Complex
Sieve tube elements in phloem lack nuclei and rely on companion cells for their functions.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of organic nutrients, mainly sucrose, from source to sink in plants.

Mesophyll contains chloroplasts and is responsible for photosynthesis in leaves.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Meristematic and Permanent Tissues - Simple and Complex
Collenchyma provides mechanical support to young growing stems and petioles.

In monocot stems, each vascular bundle is surrounded by a sclerenchymatous bundle sheath, which provides strength and support.

Meristematic tissue consists of actively dividing cells that contribute to plant growth.
Ref: NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 6: Anatomy of Flowering Plants Meristematic and Permanent Tissues - Simple and Complex
The cortex of dicot roots consists mostly of parenchymatous cells, which store food and provide structural support.

Phloem does not contain xylem vessels; instead, it consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem fibers, and phloem parenchyma.
