Answer: There are more tissues than organs.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are four types of tissues: connective tissue, epithelial tissue, muscle tissue, and nervous tissue. In terms off types of organs we have 79 different ones but only 5 are considered necessary for survival. Without those five (heart, brain, kidneys, liver and lungs), you wouldn't be alive.

Organs are MADE of tissues. Therefore if there are 79 organs and each organ is made of two or more tissues, tissues will be in higher quantity.
