What tissue plays the role of metabolism, storage and support
A
Dermal
B
Vascular
C
Ground
D
Meristemic
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ground tissue makes up most of the interior of a plant. It carries out basic metabolic functions and stores food and water. Vascular tissue runs through the ground tissue inside a plant. It consists of bundles of xylem and phloem, which transport fluids throughout the plant.

Detailed explanation-2: -Adipose tissue plays a central role in regulating whole-body energy and glucose homeostasis through its subtle functions at both organ and systemic levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Vascular tissue is made of two specialized conducting tissues: xylem and phloem. Xylem tissue transports water and nutrients from the roots to different parts of the plant, and also plays a role in structural support in the stem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parenchyma cells are active in secretion, photosynthesis, and water and food storage (especially in fleshy fruits).

Detailed explanation-5: -The major cells of the ground tissue are parenchyma cells, which function in photosynthesis and nutrient storage. They have thin walls, many chloroplasts, and large central vacuoles, and they form the mass of most leaves, stems, and roots.
