Fibrous tissue is considered a tissue because it is a group of cells that work together to perform specific functions in the body. Composed primarily of collagen fibers, fibroblasts, and other components, fibrous tissue provides structural support, strength, and elasticity to various organs and structures. Its organized arrangement allows it to effectively connect and anchor tissues, contributing to the overall integrity and function of the body.
