Document Summary

Tissue systems are continuous groups of tissues that function together. The matrix in which other tissues are embedded and make-up much of the volume of plant organs. The matrix through which the leaf veins transport water and nutrients. These three ground tissues are listed in order of increasing toughness; parenchyma is the most common and least tough, collenchyma provides flexible support for growing tissues, and sclerenchyma is really tough sclereids and fibers. Epidermal tissue is also found in all parts of a plant. These are the ground tissues" in tissues are which embedded. the vascular: the cortex is found in stems and roots, the mesophyll is found in the leaves, the pith is found in the stems. Vascular tissue: are conducting tissues in which water and nutrients are transported. These are the veins that the leaf, extending through the ground tissue. Vascular bundles are made up of for water xylem transport and for sugar phloem transport.
