Which tissue type is composed mainly of cells known as parenchyma?

Epithelial
Connective
Muscle
Ground

The correct answer is: Ground

Ground tissue is the main tissue type in plants responsible for supporting and providing structure to the plant. It is composed mainly of cells known as parenchyma, which are responsible for photosynthesis and storage of nutrients. Epithelial tissue is found in animal bodies and functions in protection and secretion. Connective tissue supports and connects different body parts. Muscle tissue is responsible for movement. None of these tissue types are mainly composed of parenchyma cells like ground tissue is.
