Name the cell types that make up each tissue and describe the function in monocot stem
Tissue: Ground tissue
Cell types: Parenchyma cells, Collenchyma cells, Sclerenchyma cells
Function: Parenchyma cells are responsible for storage and photosynthesis, Collenchyma cells provide support to growing plant tissues, and Sclerenchyma cells provide structural support to the plant.
Tissue: Vascular tissue
Cell types: Xylem cells, Phloem cells
Function: Xylem cells transport water and minerals from the roots to the leaves, and Phloem cells transport sugars and other organic molecules from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
Tissue: Epidermis
Cell types: Epidermal cells
Function: Epidermal cells protect the plant from water loss, physical damage, and pathogens.
