Plant Tissues
Parenchyma have thin walls of cellulose, whereas collenchyma have cell
walls with thickened areas of additional cellulose. Sclerenchyma cells
have lignified cell walls.
Parenchyma is a type of simple permanent tissue that makes a major part of
ground tissues in plants, where other tissues like vascular tissues are embedded.
They are non-vascular and composed of simple, living and undifferentiated
cells, which are modified to perform various functions.
Collenchyma is a supporting tissue characteristic of the growing organs
of many herbaceous and woody plants, and it is also found in stems and
leaves of mature herbaceous plants
Sclerenchyma is a plant tissue providing mechanical stiffness and
strength.
