What is a complex permanent tissue? Write the different types of complex permanent tissues.

Complex permanent tissues are tissues that are made up of more than one type of cell working together for a specific function. In plants, these tissues include: 1) Xylem: Responsible for transporting water and minerals from the roots to the rest of the plant. It is composed of tracheids, vessel elements, xylem parenchyma, and xylem fibers. 2) Phloem: Transports food (mainly in the form of sugars) from the leaves to other parts of the plant. It consists of sieve tubes, companion cells, phloem parenchyma, and phloem fibers. Both xylem and phloem are crucial for the plant’s survival and overall functioning.
