Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Tissues of the plants can be simple or complex. Simple tissues are made up one type of cell types and certain types of cell are parenchyma cells, sclerenchyma cells, and collenchyma cells. Tissues which are composed of more than two types of cells are known as complex tissues.
