This document discusses different types of permanent tissue in plants. It begins by defining permanent tissue as mature meristematic tissue that has lost the ability to divide. Permanent tissue is classified as simple tissue, complex tissue, or secretory tissue. Simple permanent tissue includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma is living tissue that can be photosynthetic, structural, or storage-related. Collenchyma provides support and is located beneath the epidermis. Sclerenchyma includes dead fibers for support and sclereids for hardness. The document outlines characteristics and functions of each tissue type.
