Solution
Tissue:
A group of identical cells, combined with an intercellular substance, fulfill a specialized role in multicellular creatures.
Animal tissues are divided into four groups: epithelial tissue, connective tissue, muscle tissue, and neural tissue.
Epithelial tissue:
This tissue serves as a covering or lining for a body part.
It has a free surface that is exposed to either a body fluid or the outside environment.
Epithelial tissues are divided into two types: simple epithelium (single layer of cells) and compound epithelium (two or more layers of cells).
Example - Skin, the lining of body cavities, ducts, and tubes.
