tissue
Meaning
Tissue refers to a group of cells that work together to perform a specific function in an organism, or it can also mean a thin piece of paper used for various purposes.
💡 A common mistake is to confuse "tissue" with "tissues," which refers to multiple pieces of paper or different types of biological tissues.
