Concept 3: Plant Tissue Systems
The tissues of a plant are organized into three tissue systems: the dermal tissue system, the ground tissue system, and the vascular tissue system.
Use information from the table to answer the questions below it.
Tissue System
and Its Functions		 Component Tissues Location of Tissue Systems
Dermal Tissue System
• protection
• prevention of water loss		 Epidermis
Periderm (in older stems and roots)
Ground Tissue System
• photosynthesis
• food storage
• regeneration
• support
• protection		 Parenchyma tissue
Collenchyma tissue
Sclerenchyma tissue
Vascular Tissue System
• transport of water and minerals
• transport of food		 Xylem tissue
Phloem tissue
