Answer
Meristematic tissue
Reason — Meristematic tissues are made up of actively dividing cells. Their only function is to produce more cells leading to the growth of the plant body. Parenchyma is a permanent tissue made of living cells that mainly store food and help in photosynthesis. Its cells are non-dividing in mature regions. Sclerenchyma provides mechanical support. Its cells are dead at maturity and do not divide. Protective tissue includes epidermis and cork. It mainly protects the plant surface and its cells do not actively divide.
