Abstract

A flowering plant is made up of millions of cells. The cells are organised into tissues, collections of cells that look more or less alike and have the same functions (for example, mesophyll tissue). The tissues are joined to one another to form organs, such as leaves and stems, which carry out the major living processes of the plant. Organs together form the whole flowering plant. All large organisms are made up of organs, which are made up of tissues, which are made up of cells.
