Sclerenchyma tissue provides support and protection to the plant due to its thick, lignified cell walls.

Phloem is responsible for the transport of food (sugars) produced during photosynthesis from leaves to other parts of the plant.

The outermost layer of a plant stem is called the epidermis, which protects the plant from environmental damage.

The primary function of the root system is to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

Meristematic tissue is responsible for the growth in length of stems and roots through cell division.

Apical meristem is responsible for the primary growth in length of the plant.

Xylem is the type of tissue responsible for the transport of water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant.

Meristematic tissue is characterized by its ability to divide and give rise to various types of plant tissues.

The stem does not absorb water; this function is primarily performed by the roots.

Xylem is a complex tissue, while parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are types of simple permanent tissues.

Leaves are the primary site of photosynthesis in flowering plants due to the presence of chlorophyll.

Parenchyma tissue is primarily involved in the storage of food and can also perform photosynthesis.

A tap root system is characterized by a single main root that grows deeper into the soil with smaller lateral roots.
