Summary Introduction
To review:
The meristem tissue and its types along with the role of the basic types of meristems in the development of the plant body.
Introduction:
A tissue is a group of cells that are similar in both function and structure. It works together in one or more tasks along with some intercellular substances. The plant tissues grow all their life. Unlike in animals, the tissue growth is slow and gradual and stops once the organism exceeds a certain size. This capacity of indefinite growth provides the plant an inordinate amount of functional and anatomical plasticity in order to reciprocate through the environmental influences like light, water, temperature, and nutrient supply.

- A plant stem's two main functions are to support the leaves and to transport materials between roots and leaves. As a stem develops, it possesses three types of permanent tissues: surface tissue, ground tissue, and vascular tissue. The surface and ground tissues support and give structure to the plant. The vascular tissues are the transport systems of the plant. The vascular tissues usually exist in one of three patterns and are known as the phloem and xylem. Both the xylem and phloem are made up of several different types of cells that make up transport tubes for needed nutrients. In general, xylem nutrients (sap) travel from the roots to the rest of the plant. Phloem sap is derived from photosynthesizing leaves and from there is carried throughout the plant. 24.
