Anatomy of Flowering Plants NEET Questions and Answers 

The plant body is composed of organs like stems, roots, and leaves. These are distinct morphological structures, each having specific functions to perform. Every organ, in its turn, is a collection of tissue systems that carry out restricted functions. A tissue system is made up of several contiguous tissues. A tissue is a group of cells formed in response to a basic division of labor. The study of internal structures and organization of tissues in plant organs is known as Plant Anatomy.
