Sclerenchyma Cells
  • Sclerenchyma cells function as plant support. Hardened with lignin, a tough subtance that strengthens the cell wall, these cells are thicker and less flexible than the collenchyma cells. The cells usually do not live after they are fully grown, but the non-living cell structure will remain as a source of strength. These cells are found in stems, leaf veins and in the hard outer covering of seeds and nuts.

Which tissues are present in hard covering of seeds?

The hard covering of seeds is primarily composed of the seed coat, which is made up of specialized tissues like the testa and the tegmen. These tissues provide protection to the seed during dormancy and help regulate water intake when germination occurs. Additionally, the endosperm or cotyledons found within the seed also contribute to the overall structure of the seed coat.
