Tissues Plant Tissue Structure and Function of Plant Tissue

The word anatomy is derived from two Greek words ana (means as under) and tomy (means to cut). It is the study of the internal structure of the body. Plant anatomy deals with the ontogeny, structurean distribution of various
types of tissues in roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits. Plant anatomy is an important basic science. It is helpful in understanding the complexity of plant structure, adaptations, roles of various tissues in physiology and determination of phylogeny.Anatomical features of the vegetative and flowering organs have been successfully employed in solving taxonomic problems.
