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.

Tissues provide structural support, transport essential substances, protect against environmental stresses, perform metabolic functions, and enable sensory perception and communication in both plants and animals. In plants, tissues like xylem, phloem, and epidermis aid in water and nutrient transport, protection from pathogens, and sensing environmental cues. Similarly, in animals, tissues such as muscle, nervous, and epithelial tissues support movement, transmit nerve signals, protect against pathogens, and facilitate sensory perception, crucial for survival and adaptation to their respective environments.
