Answer:

Tissue

Tissues are groups of similar cells that have a common function. The four basic tissue types are epithelial, muscle, connective, and nervous tissue. Each tissue type has a characteristic role in the body:

Epithelium covers the body surface and lines body cavities.

Muscle provides movement.

Connective tissue supports and protects body organs.

Nervous tissue provides a means of rapid internal communication by transmitting electrical impulses.
