How Do Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma Provide Support?
Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are two types of ground tissue that provide structural support to the plant. Collenchyma cells have thickened cell walls and are flexible, allowing them to support growing tissues such as young stems and leaves. Sclerenchyma cells have thick, lignified walls and are more rigid. They are found in mature tissues and provide strength and support to the plant.
