Flashcards
Ground Tissue
Ground Tissue
The main tissue system that makes up the plant's body, composed of various tissues for specific functions.
Hypodermis
Hypodermis
A layer of cells found beneath the epidermis, providing structural support and protecting the plant's outer parts.
Parenchyma Cells (in endodermis)
Parenchyma Cells (in endodermis)
Specialized cells in the endodermis, characterized by waterproof bands called Casparian strips and often store starch.

Study Notes
Plant Tissue System
- The ground tissue system forms the major part of a plant and comprises different types of tissues.
Cortex
- The hypodermis, a layer of the cortex, has a main function of providing mechanical support to the plant.
- The inner layer of the cortex is called the endodermis.
Endodermis
- Endodermal cells are characterized by the presence of Casparian strips and may contain starch granules.
Types of Tissue
- Simple non-meristematic tissue can be divided into four categories: cortex, parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
