Question

On the basis of location and function, how many types of the tissue system are found in vascular plants?

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $4$
• D. $5$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $3$

On the basis of location and function, three main tissue systems are found in plants, dermal, vascular, and ground tissue. Dermal tissue is composed of epidermal cells, closely packed cells that secrete a waxy cuticle that aids in the prevention of water loss. The primary components of vascular tissue are the xylem and phloem. The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. The three types of ground tissue, parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma, function in photosynthesis, storage, regeneration, support, and protection.

So, the correct answer is '3'.
