  1. Simple permanent tissues consist of a single type of cell with similar structure and function, such as parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. They perform basic functions like storage, support, and photosynthesis. Complex tissues, however, comprise multiple types of cells working together, such as xylem and phloem. These tissues conduct specialized functions like water transport, nutrient distribution, and mechanical support, making them structurally and functionally distinct from simple permanent tissues.
