Introduction:

Plants are multicellular and divided into two groups: monocots and dicots. They are composed of organs, tissues, and cells performing specialized functions. The shoot system includes stems and leaves, and root system includes roots. Each of these organs consists of three tissues: ground, vascular, and dermal. The arrangement of the tissues is different in each organ for both monocots and dicots.
