what are complex tissues?

Complex tissues consist of more than one type of cells, all of which coordinate to perform a similar function. The different complex tissues in plants are xylem and phloem.

 

Functions of xylem:

They carry water and mineral salts upwards from roots to different parts of the plant.

They provide mechanical strength to the plant body.

 

Function of phloem:

Phloem  transports the food materials from leaves to other parts of the plant.
