The amount of dead tissue is more in plants than animals. Many essential functions in plants are attributed to dead tissues. Dead tissue provides support and mechanical strength to plants, e.g., sclerenchyma. Apart from this, the main conducting tissue in plants, xylem is mostly composed of dead cells.
