The principal goal of this section is to present the
important details of your observations
in a clear, concise fashion.

You should use an orderly sequence so that it will be easy for the reader to gain a comprehensible vision of your data.

Whole Plant

If you are studying a whole plant, you could present your results in the following sequence.

Leaf-> Petiole -> Primary Stem -> Secondary Stem -> Primary Root -> Secondary Root

OR

Primary Root -> Secondary Root -> Primary Stem -> Secondary Stem -> Petiole -> Leaf

For each Organ you should
start with the
Epidermis.

For Leaves you could start with the
Abaxial (upper) Epidermis
and proceed sequentially through the leaf tissues
Ground Tissue
(Mesophyll) ->
Vascular Tissues ->

Adaxial Epidermis.

Alternatively you could start with the Adaxial Epidermis and move directly to the Abaxial Epidermis.
Then, you could describe the
Ground Tissue (Mesophyll) and finally you could deal with the Vascular Tissues.

You should also organize the way in which you deal with the various tissues in each organ. You should follow the same organization for each organ so long as it is possible.

Ground Tissue could be organized as,
Outer, Middle & Lower

Vascular Tissue could be organized as, Primary, Fascicular, Interfascicular, Secondary

Xylem & Phloem could be considered separately
(Primary Xylem & Secondary Xylem : Primary Phloem & Secondary Phloem)
or together
(Primary Xylem & Phloem : Secondary Xylem & Phloem).

The Origin & Location of Periderm and its attributes would take the place of the Epidermis in older stems and roots. The Periderm is "dermal" tissue.

You need to follow the same organizational pattern in each section so that the reader can easily follow your work.

If you jump around for from tissue to tissue and organ to organ, it would be virtually impossible for anybody to make sense of your work without completely reorganizing it themselves.
That is your job!!!!!!

There are other ways to organize your paper. You could first deal with the Epidermis from Leaf to Root, Ground Tissue from Leaf to Root and Vascular Tissue from ......

Regardless!! As Yoda would say "Organize you must!!!!!"
