How many types of plant tissues are there based on their ability to divide?

Posted December 22, 2023


Answer

Plant tissue systems can be categorized into two general types: meristematic tissue and non-meristematic tissue. Meristematic tissues are found in meristems. Meristems are regions of plants that experience continuous cell growth and division. Non-meristematic tissues are tissues of plants that are not actively dividing and growing.
