Classification of Plant Tissues
- Plant tissues are classified into four main types based on their functions
- Meristematic tissues: bring about growth and repair
- Dermal tissues: form protective outer coverings
3
Meristematic Tissues
- Three types: Apical, Lateral (Cambium), and Intercalary meristem
- Apical meristem: at root and shoot tips, causes growth in length
- Lateral meristem (Cambium): along the sides, causes growth in girth
