There are three types of plant tissues: ground, vascular, and dermal.

Dermal Tissue

Generally a single layer of cells
The "skin" of the plant
Primarily parenchyma cells
Main role is protection of the plant

Ground Tissue

Makes up the bulk of the plant
Predominately parenchyma, but collenchyma and schlerenchyma cells are found
Diverse functions including photosynthesis, storage, and support

Vascular Tissue

Involved in the transport of water, ions, minerals, and food
Also has a secondary role in support
Composed of xylem, phloem, parenchyma, schlerenchyma
