    Terrestrial plants require support to maximize sunlight exposure and withstand their own weight and environmental resistance. Support comes from thickened cell walls in xylem, parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma tissues for woody plants, and turgid parenchyma and collenchyma cells for herbaceous plants, providing structure and mechanical strength.

    TERRESTRIAL PLANTS

    1. Plants require support to enable them to


    stay upright to get maximum sunlight.
    2. Support is also required to carry the
    weight of the plants and to ensure that
    the plants are strong enough to
    withstand the resistance of water and
    air.
    Supports in plants

    Terrestrial plants

    Woody plants
    -Xylem with thick lignified walls Herbaceous plants
    -Parenchyma tissues :for cell turgidity -Turgidity of parenchyma and
    collenchyma cells to support the
    -Collenchyma tissues: cell walls are plants
    strengthened with cellulose and
    pectin -Collenchyma tissues have
    strengthened cell walls with
    -Sclerenchyma tissues: thick lignified cellulose and pectin :provide
    cell walls extra mechanical support
