Solution
A tissue is a group of similar cells from the same origin that together carry out a specific function. An egg is a zygote or a cell but a cluster of eggs cannot be considered as tissue as it does not form an organ like a tissue. Instead, it gives rise to a new individual organism if it gets fertilized.
