Chapter 33, Problem 5TYU
Summary Introduction
Introduction: Most of the plant body includes a ground tissue system as it is a necessary portion of plants to supply mineral nutrients and water to the organisms. The ground tissue system includes three types of tissues, namely parenchyma tissue, collenchyma tissue and sclerenchyma tissue. These tissues perform several varieties of functions in a plant body.
