Solution
Plants and animals are different kinds of organisms; hence, they require different types of tissues to carry out their bodily functions.
Plants are autotrophic and stationary, whereas animals have to move from one place to another in search of food, mate, and shelter. Plant tissues are suited for the stationary habit of plants, whereas tissue organisation in animals is targeted at providing higher mobility.
