Why do plants have more dead tissues as compared to animals?

Solution

Plants are stationary or fixed – they don’t move. So, they need tissues that are supportive, which provides them with structural strength. Since dead cells can provide mechanical strength better than live cells, and need less maintenance most of the plant cells are dead.
