primary tissue

Tissue formed from a primary meristem, such as the procambium, protoderm, or ground meristem. In woody plants primary tissue is formed before secondary tissue (see secondary growth ).   In   herbaceous   plants that possess no secondary meristems, all tissues are primary. The primary xylem and primary phloem are examples of primary vascular tissues.
