Notes from NEET topper
Tissue systems in plants are organized groups of tissues that work together to perform specific functions. Plants, particularly angiosperms (flowering plants), are categorized into two major groups: dicots (dicotyledons) and monocots (monocotyledons). These two groups exhibit differences in various aspects, including their tissue systems. Here’s a comparison of tissue systems in dicots and monocots:
Tissue Systems in Plants
-
Dermal Tissue System: This is the protective outer covering of plants.
-
Vascular Tissue System: Consists of xylem and phloem, responsible for transport of water, nutrients, and food.
-
Ground Tissue System: Makes up the bulk of the plant body, involved in photosynthesis, storage, and support.
