Question

The mesophyll tissue is part of

• A. epidermal tissue system
• B. ground tissue system
• C. vascular tissue system
• D. conducting tissue system

Answer 1

The correct option is B ground tissue system

There are three tissue systems in plants - the epidermal tissue system, the ground tissue system, and the vascular tissue system (conducting tissue system).
All tissues in the plant body except the epidermis and vascular tissues constitute the ground tissue system.

The mesophyll tissue present between the upper and lower epidermis in leaves is a part of the ground tissue system. The mesophyll tissue consists of chloroplasts (chlorenchyma) and helps in photosynthesis.
