Ok well first of all if you are looking for a simple answer don't look here!!

A plant is made up of three different kinds of tissue systems, dermal, ground, and vascular. Ground tissue is surrounded by the dermal tissue, which makes up the outer layers of a plant, and ground tissue is what makes up a majority of the inside of a plant. Ground tissue will provide support for the plant and it also stores materials in the roots and stems. Ground tissue in leaves are packed with chloroplasts, which is where the photosynthesis process makes nutrients for the plant.

The ground tissue system consists of all three of the simple tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma tissue. Parenchyma is the most common tissue of the three and in cacti, the ground tissue contains numerous parenchyma cells which store water. Although those parenchyma cells store water, rigid parenchyma actually make up most of ground tissue in cacti spines.
