Describe the plant body by explaining the functions of the three tissue systems
What will be an ideal response?
(1 ) The vascular tissue system is the circulatory system of the plant that carries water, minerals, and food throughout the plant. The xylem tissues transport minerals and water, whereas the phloem transports nutrients. (2 ) The ground tissue system is the packaging, storage and photosynthetic area of the plant. It is packed around the vascular system lending important support. Ground tissue cells also store and produce nutrients. (3 ) The dermal tissue system is the outer covering of the plant, enclosing the ground tissue and controlling water loss and carbon dioxide intake.
