Three types of permanent tissue

Epidermal tissue, ground tissue & ground tissue

Types of ground tissue

Parenchyma tissue, collenchyma tissue & sclerenchyma tissue

Types of vascular tissue

Xylem & phloem

Xylem

Tissue that transport water and mineral salt to all parts of a plant.

Phloem

Tissue that transport sugars produced from the photosynthesis from the leaves to storage organs.

Epidermal tissue

A structure that layers the outermost surface of stems, leaves and roots of young plants.

Guard cell

Cells that control the opening of the stoma

Root hair cell

Cells that increase the surface area of the root for water and mineral salts absorption
