The ground tissue system synthesizes organic compounds, supports the plant and provides storage for the plant. It is mostly made up of plant cells called parenchyma cells but can also include some collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells as well. Parenchyma cells synthesize and store organic products in a plant.
In the very center of the plant, we find the vascular tissue system. This tissue provides support, but it also creates a highway of long-distance transport between the roots and other parts of the plants. Both water and nutrients are transported through the vascular tissue. The third system is the ground tissue system. This tissue accounts for most of the bulk of the plant and fills the spaces in between the dermal and vascular tissues.
