A tissue is a group of similar specialised cells working together.

When a large number of identical cells specialised cells are found in the same place it is called a tissue.

Sperm do not work together so semen is not counted as a tissue.

An organ is many tissues working together.

Some tissues in vertebrates that you should know:

Some tissues in plants that you should know:


A specialised muscle cell	Muscle Tissue

A specialised xylem cell	Xylem Tissue stained orange.

A specialised palisade cell	Palisade Tissue is the layer of rectangular cells near the top of the leaf, just under the top layer.
