permanent
performs a specific function
permanent
tissue composed of a single cell type
single
tissue composed of more than one cell type
complex
outermost cell layer; protective role
epidermis
stems and roots; nutrient and storage
parenchyma
shoots and leaves; mechanical, strength, and flexibility
collenchyma
mechanical strength water conduction
sclerenchyma
supports the plant, transports water and dissolved salts from roots to stems and leaves
xylem
transports organic nutrients produced during photosynthesis (carbohydrates)
