What are the functions of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma?
Parenchyma performs functions like storage of food, photosynthesis, and gas exchange. It also helps in healing and repairing plant tissues.
Collenchyma provides flexibility and mechanical support to the plant, allowing it to bend without breaking.
Sclerenchyma provides strength and rigidity to the plant due to its thick and lignin cell walls, making it tough and durable.
