The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three types based on the nature of the cell walls. This tissue system is present between the dermal tissue and forms the main bulk of the plant body.
Ground tissue in plants comprises tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It is the most abundant part of any plant. It is found in all plant organs, including the root and the shoot system. They arise from the ground tissue meristem.
The ground tissue system arises from a ground tissue meristem and consists of three simple tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma (Figure 5). The cells of each simple tissue bear the same name as their respective tissue.
The main tissue types of the ground tissue system are parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma have thin walls of cellulose, whereas collenchyma have cell walls with thickened areas of additional cellulose. Sclerenchyma cells have lignified cell walls.

A ground tissue is a plant tissue other than those of the dermal tissues and the vascular tissues. It arises from the ground meristem. It fills in the soft parts of the plants, such as cortex, pith, pericycle, etc. There are three fundamental types of cells that make up a ground tissue, i.e. parenchyma, sclerenchyma, and collenchyma cells.
Often times, tissues that are not considered dermal or vascular tissue are noted as ground tissue. These cells store molecules (such as starch), photosynthesize (such as mesophyll cells), or support the plant. There are three types of ground tissue: collenchyma, sclerenchyma, and parenchyma.
