Tissue in plants can be grouped into two categories, namely (1) meristematic tissue or embryonic tissue and (2) permanent tissue. Meristematic tissue is the tissue of young active cells constantly divide to form the primary structure on the plant, while the permanent tissue is a tissue that has undergone differentiation. Permanent tissue consists of simple tissue and complex tissue. Simple tissue include parenchymal tissue, chollenchyma tissue, and sclerenchyma tissue. Complex tissue include dermal tissue and vascular tissue.
A. MERISTEMATIC TISSUE
Meristematic tissue is the tissue cells are able to divide by mitosis continuously (are embryonal) to increase the number of cells in the plant body. Meristematic found in certain parts of the plant. In general, the cells making thin-walled meristematic tissue, and relatively rich in protoplasm. Meristematic cell vacuoles are very small and scattered throughout the protoplasm. This tissue consists of cells that are not differentiated. The ability of meristematic tissue to mitosis continuously causes plants to grow tall and big. Based on where the plant meristematic tissue divided into three types: apical meristematic, lateral meristematic, and Intercalary meristematic.
