Question

How are simple tissues different from complex tissues in plants?

Answer 1

A simple tissue is composed of only one type of cells while the complex tissue is composed of different types of cells.

For example- parenchyma is a simple tissue which is composed of thin-walled polyhedral, isodiametric living cells with sufficient cytoplasm and one or more nuclei. Phloem is a complex tissue that is composed of four elements namely, sieve elements, companion cell, phloem fibres, and phloem parenchyma and serves in translocation of organic nutrients.
