Tissue culture

Tissue culture is like growing a plant in a special container. Instead of soil, you use a special mixture of nutrients and vitamins to help the plant grow. The difference is that tissue culture is not just about growing plants, it's about growing tiny pieces of plants, like cells or tissues.

Imagine that your body is a plant and each of your organs is like a different part of that plant. Tissue culture helps scientists grow these organs, just like they are growing a tiny seed into a big plant!

To do tissue culture, scientists take a tiny piece of plant tissue that contains cells, and put it into a special container with the nutrient mixture. Then, they use special tools and techniques to keep the cells growing and dividing. They make sure the cell environment is exactly right and that the cells have everything they need to keep multiplying and forming into more complex structures.

Once the cells have grown enough, scientists can use them for many things! They might study how the cells work and what they do, or they might use the cells to make new medicines or foods. Tissue culture is a very important tool for scientists and they use it to learn a lot about how living things work!
