Tissues are groups of similar cells that work together to perform specific functions in multicellular organisms. They form the structural and functional units of organs.

The word 'tissue' comes from the French term 'tissu,' meaning 'fabric.'

Tissues are like teams of tiny building blocks in your body, all working together to do a specific job, such as moving muscles or digesting food.
