Answer 2

Answer: Vascular and Dermal Tissue

Dermal tissue in the plant is the first tissue which acts against the physical damage, which might be caused by the infection or by the insects. It covers the outside of the plant part.

The vascular tissue in plant serves to transport water and nutrient, which are required by the plants in the process of repair of injury and lead to the growth of a plant. The nutrients supplied by the vascular tissue help in the restoration of damaged tissue caused by the injury or infection.
