Meristematic tissue in plants allows for continuous growth and regeneration throughout their lifespan. It is responsible for producing new cells for primary and secondary growth, ensuring the plant’s ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

In plants, growth is limited to certain regions, with some tissues continuously dividing throughout their life (meristematic tissue). Animals exhibit more uniform cell growth, with no specific demarcation between dividing and non-dividing regions.

Plants require supportive tissue to maintain their upright structure since they are stationary. Dead cells provide structural support and rigidity to help plants withstand environmental pressures.

Plant tissues often contain a large quantity of supportive tissue with dead cells, whereas animal tissues primarily consist of living cells. Additionally, the growth pattern differs, with plants exhibiting localized growth regions and some tissues that divide throughout their life, ...

Tissues in both plants and animals are groups of cells that work together to perform specific functions, such as support, transport, or protection, contributing to the overall structure and physiology of the organism.
