Concept explainers
To determine: The three tissue systems in plants.
Introduction: Plants are non-motile living beings that are capable of producing their own food by utilizing the sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. Roots, stems, and leaves of the plants are organized into the three tissues of plant organs such as dermal tissue system, vascular tissue system, and ground tissue system, respectively. The interaction of these plant tissue systems coordinates every plant organ.
To describe: The functions of the three tissue systems in plants.
