Plant tissues are divided into meristematic and permanent tissue based on their differentiation and division capabilities.

1. Differentiation Capability: This refers to the ability of a cell to change its function from one type to another. Meristematic tissues are capable of differentiating into any type of plant cell, while permanent tissues have lost this ability and are specialized for specific functions.

2. Division Capability: This refers to the ability of a cell to divide and produce new cells. Meristematic tissues have active cell division and are responsible for plant growth. Permanent tissues, on the other hand, have lost the ability to divide.

The symmetry and plane of division are not the primary factors for the division of plant tissues into meristematic and permanent. These factors are more related to the process of cell division itself rather than the classification of plant tissues.
