  2. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Sclerenchyma (bast fibre) Cortex. Epidermis. 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. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls ...

  3. Secondary cell wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The secondary cell wall is a structure found in many plant cells, located between the primary cell wall and the plasma membrane. The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1] It is most prevalent in the Ground tissue found in vascular plants, with Collenchyma ...

  4. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Flatworms. Parenchyma is the tissue made up of cells and intercellular spaces that fills the interior of the body of a flatworm, which is an acoelomate. This is a spongy tissue also known as a mesenchymal tissue, in which several types of cells are lodged in their extracellular matrices. The parenchymal cells include myocytes, and many types of ...

  5. Tissue (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_(biology)

    Collenchyma (Greek, 'Colla' means gum and 'enchyma' means infusion) is a living tissue of primary body like Parenchyma. Cells are thin-walled but possess thickening of cellulose , water and pectin substances ( pectocellulose ) at the corners where a number of cells join.

  6. Cortex (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortex_(botany)

    Sclerenchyma 6. Cortex 7. Epidermis. In botany, a cortex is an outer layer of a stem or root in a vascular plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. [1] The cortex is composed mostly of large thin-walled parenchyma cells of the ground tissue system and shows little to no structural differentiation. [2]

  7. Plant cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_cell

    Structure of a plant cell. Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae.Their distinctive features include primary cell walls containing cellulose, hemicelluloses and pectin, the presence of plastids with the capability to perform photosynthesis and store starch, a large vacuole that regulates turgor pressure, the absence of flagella or ...

  8. Phloem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phloem

    In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, hence the name, derived from the Ancient Greek word φλοιός (phloiós), meaning "bark". [3][4] The term was introduced by Carl Nägeli in 1858. [5][6] Different types of phloem can be distinguished. The early phloem formed in the growth apices is called protophloem.

  9. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    Dermal tissue covers the outer surface of the stem and usually functions to protect the stem tissue, and control gas exchange. [6] The predominant cells of dermal tissue are epidermal cells. [6] Ground tissue usually consists mainly of parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells; and they surround vascular tissue. Ground tissue is important ...
