The basic unit of structure for a tissue is a cell.
Tissue is composed of a group of similar cells that work together to perform a specific function. These cells share a similar structure and function, allowing them to coordinate activities. For example, muscle tissue is made up of muscle cells, which contract to facilitate movement. Similarly, connective tissue consists of cells that provide support and bind other tissues together. Each type of tissue in the body is formed from specialized cells that are tailored to their function, but it is the cell that serves as the foundational unit of all tissue types.
