- The roots, stem and leaves form a plant organ system for transport of substances around the plant.
- The leaf is a plant organ made up of numerous plant tissues.
| Tissue | Function | Structure |
| Epidermal tissues | Protects against water loss, regulates gas exchange in leaves, and regulates water and mineral uptake in roots |
|
| Palisade mesophyll | Major site of photosynthesis |
|
| Spongy mesophyll | Gas exchange |
|
| Meristem tissue | Stem cells are produced for plant growth |
