There are different types of plant tissues that are formed from meristematic cells including parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, xylem, and phloem. Parenchyma tissue is composed of cells with the simplest structure and is found in soft plant parts where it helps with photosynthesis and food storage. Collenchyma tissue has thick cell walls at the corners to provide flexibility and support, while sclerenchyma tissue has uniformly thick cell walls. Xylem and phloem are vascular tissues; xylem transports water and minerals from the roots through tubes formed from elongated cells and provides strength, while phloem transports food synthesized in the leaves through tubular interconnected
