Question: What is fat tissue?

Giovanna Bermano answered on 11 Nov 2014:

Fat tissue, also called adipose tissue or just fat, is that part of the body/organ where we store fat. Cells, also called adipocytes, in this part of the body are like little balloons which are full of fat and where we store energy….in obese people the number of these cells increases but they also increase in size as they store much more fat!!
