What is the function of collenchyma?
Collenchyma cells have strong, flexible cell walls the help support larger plants. Collenchyma cells make up the familiar "strings" of a stalk of celery.Collenchyma cells help support young parts of the plant shoot. They provide flexible support without restraining growth and they elongate the stems and leaves they support.
What includes parenchyma collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
Collenchyma tissue composed of polygonal cells includes parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
The stiffness of paddy straw is due to?
because of collenchyma.
What is collenchyma what is its functions?
Collenchyma's cell walls are very thick by pectic substances. They are shaped like hexagons. They have a large vacuole in the center. When the cells die they become sclerenchyma. Then the vacuole becomes an empty thing called a lumen & the cell wall becomes lignified. It's found in plant stems, leaves & flowers.

Why does a stem contain more sclerenchyma and collenchyma than a leaf?
A stem requires more strength and structure, which sclerenchyma and collenchyma provide, than leaves.
