| Tissue | Characteristics | Functions |
| Parenchyma | - consist of thin-walled cells - have large vacuoles - least specialized - can be found in all the organs plant | - store products of photosynthesis (sugar/starch) - *palisade mesophyll cells *spongy mesophyll cells ~specialised(photosynthesis) |
| Collenchyma | - consist of elongated, polygonal cells - cell walls are thickened by *cellulose *pectin - strong and flexible | - source of support in herbaceous plants |
| Sclerenchyma | - more rigid - thickened by lignin - most of cells are dead at maturity | - supports and strengthen plant body - provides protection for the plant |
