are found at the tip of roots and shoots, which produce new cells to increase the length of the root or shoot.

• Apical meristem

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

tend to have large vacuoles and may contain various secretions.

• Apical meristem

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

They may be classified as either aerenchyma cells, which have extensively connected air spaces, and chlorenchyma cells, which contain chloroplasts or green pigments.

• Apical meristem

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

are somewhat elongated cells that provide excellent support and strengthening functions, being located just beneath the epidermis and thickened at the corners.

• Apical meristem

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

support and protect due to the shape, thickness, and toughness of their cell walls, which are deposited with lignin.

• Apical meristem

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

They are further classified as sclereids (isodiametric cells) and fibers, which are elongated cells with pointed ends.

• Parenchyma cells

• Collenchyma cells

• Sclerenchyma cells

is the primary conducting tissue for water and absorbed minerals from the soil.

• xylem

• tracheary tissue

• Cork cells

• endodermis

• phloem

is the primary conducting tissue for food manufactured from leaves. Some plants contain fiber, which are elongated cells with tapering ends.

• xylem

• tracheary tissue

• Cork cells

• endodermis

• phloem

is made up of tracheids, which are tubes that taper at the end, with pits that allow passage of water between cells and rays, which are essential for lateral short-distance conduction.

• xylem

• tracheary tissue

• Cork cells

• endodermis

• phloem

are flattened, thin-walled cells with little or no intercellular spaces.
