need help? review these concept resources.

Explanation:

Areolar connective tissue is a loose connective - tissue that holds organs and tissues together and provides nutrients to overlying epithelial tissue. Adipose tissue stores fat. Tendons and ligaments are dense connective tissues mainly for attachment and stability. Stratified cuboidal epithelium is an epithelial tissue type mainly for protection and some secretion, not for nourishing overlying epithelium.

Answer:

Areolar connective tissue
