makes up the majority of a plant

Explanation:

Ground tissues are one of the three types of plant tissues (others being dermal and vascular). They are composed of cells as follows: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. These three cells that make up the ground tissues perform different functions in the plant cell.

- Parenchyma functions in photosynthesis and storage of extra food (carbohydrates) in the cell.

- Collenchyma functions in the support of young regions of the plant

- Sclerenchyma, which has the thickest cell wall, functions mainly in the strengthening/support of the plant cell.

Also, among the three tissue types in a plant, ground tissues make up majority of the plant cell.
