Division of labor among the plant tissues:

Based on their structures and functions, plant tissues are divided into two types i.e. meristematic tissues and permanent tissues.

Meristematic tissues:

Meristematic tissues are made of undifferentiated, small cells which can divide. These tissues are located at the tips of roots and shoots (apical meristem) and between the xylem and phloem tissues (lateral meristem).

Permanent tissues:

Permanent tissues are made of differentiated cells of different shapes and sizes. They are further divided into epidermal tissues (the outermost covering of leaf, stem, and root), ground tissue (or parenchyma: prepares food and stores food and water), supporting tissue (i.e. collenchyma/sclerenchyma: provides strength to the plant) and conducting tissue xylem and phloem (transports water and food).

Division of labor among the animal tissues:

There are four major types of animal tissues i.e. epithelial connective, nervous and muscular tissues. Epithelial tissue acts as the covering and glandular tissue. Connective tissue acts as the connecting and supporting tissue. Nervous tissue conducts messages and muscular tissue acts as the contracting tissue.
