The Tissues: A group of interdependent identical or non-identical cells along with intercellular substance having common origin to perform a specific (definite) function in multicellular organisms is called tissue.

The term ‘tissue’ was coined by N Grew. The cells constituting a tissue are connected together by plasmodesmata for proper coordination among them. The study of tissues is called histology. On the basis of constitution of cells, the tissues are of two types, i.e., simple and complex. A simple tissue is made up of similar cells, which carry out the same function, whereas the complex tissue is made up of two or more than two types of cells which carry out the similar functions.
