Study Notes

Ground Tissue System

Ground tissue comprises all plant tissues excluding the epidermis and vascular bundles.
It's composed of simple tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
Parenchyma cells are found in cortex, pericycle, pith, and medullary rays of primary stems and roots.
In leaves, the ground tissue is called mesophyll and is made up of thin-walled cells containing chloroplasts.
