How are the plant tissues classified according to their functions?
Plant tissues are divided into growth (embryonic) tissues, supporting, filling and photosynthetic tissues (ground tissues), conductive (vascular) tissues and covering (dermal) tissues. Embryonic tissues: primary meristems; secondary meristems. Supporting tissues: collenchyma; sclerenchyma. Filling and photosynthetic tissues: photosynthetic parenchyma; storage parenchyma. Conductive tissues: xylem; phloem. Covering tissues: epidermis; periderm.
