Plants and animals are multicellular organisms .
They are thus composed of cells
Cells perform functions together forming tissues
So does that mean plants and animals have the same type of tissues?
The simple answer is no
Let us see why.
Difference between Plant and Animal tissues
| Plant Tissues | Animal Tissues |
| Plants do not move from one place to another . They require structural strength and support | Animals move from one space to another for food, shelter, mating etc. and require tissues to support that |
| Plant growth is limited to only certain regions | Animals have overall growth patterns |
| The tissues are distinguished as meristematic (capable of dividing) and permanent (do not divide) | There is no such difference in animal tissues |
| Plant tissues have a simple organization | Animal tissues are further organized into more specialized and localized organs and organ systems |
| They have mostly dead tissues as dead cells provide strength and support | They have mostly living tissues |
| These tissue do not require much maintenance | These tissue require more maintenance |
| Thus plant tissues are targeted towards sedentary or stationary existence of plants | Thus animal tissues are targeted towards locomotory and highly mobile nature of animals |
| Example - Xylem, Phloem, Apical meristems | Example - Muscles, Blood, Bone |
