Plant tissues and organs
  1. Tissues
    1. Epidermis
      1. Covers the plant
      2. Mesophyll
        1. Carries out photosythesis
        2. Xylem
          1. Transports water
          2. Phloem
            1. Transports sugars
          3. Organs
            1. Roots
              1. Stems
                1. Leaves
                  1. Adapted to absorb sunlight for photosynthesis
                    1. Chlorophyll
                      1. Contains chloroplasts which absorb sunlight
                      2. Large surface area
                        1. Absorbs more sunlight
                        2. Stomata
                          1. Lets carbon dioxide to diffuse into the leaf
                          2. Thin
                            1. Short distance for the carbon dioxide to diffuse into
                            2. Network of veins
                              1. Support the leaf and transport water and carbohydrates
