Support cells are non-neuronal cells in the nervous system that provide physical and metabolic support to neurons. Examples include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and microglia in the central nervous system, and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Support cells help maintain the structural integrity of the nervous system and play important roles in functions such as insulation, waste removal, and immune response.
These cells are called sustentacular cells or supporting cells. They surround and support the olfactory receptor cells in the olfactory epithelium. They provide physical support, nourishment, and electrical insulation to the olfactory receptor cells, helping to maintain their function.
Glial Cells
Dead cells with thick walls that support plant walls are called sclerenchyma cells. These cells are highly specialized for mechanical support and are found in regions of the plant that require rigidity and strength, such as the stems and vascular tissues.

The nervous system has both. The active cells which carry information are the neurons while the glial cells are the support cells.

Glial Cells
Because a plant has no skeleton, its support is found in it's cells. The cells have a rigid cell wall for support and structure.
Lignified cells are specialized plant cells that have been strengthened by the deposition of lignin, a complex polymer that provides structural support and rigidity to the plant. These cells are important for structural support in plants, particularly in woody tissues such as stems and branches.
Collenchyma cells
Nervous tissue is composed of neurons and supporting cells called neuroglial. The neuroglial are unspecialized cells and are able to perform supporting functions unlike the neurons which are used in key functions.
The glue cells that perform the function of support and protection are called sclerenchyma cells. These cells have thick, rigid cell walls containing lignin, providing structural support to plants. Sclerenchyma cells are found in stems, roots, and leaves, contributing to the overall strength and protection of the plant.
Plant cells have a cell wall that serves to provide strength and support to the cell. Plant cells also have a cytoskeleton.
Turgidty protects the plant and give it support
Dead cells with thick walls that support plant walls are called sclerenchyma cells. These cells are highly specialized for mechanical support and are found in regions of the plant that require rigidity and strength, such as the stems and vascular tissues.
Sclerenchyma cells provide support in plants and are typically dead at maturity. These cells have thick, lignified cell walls that provide structural support to the plant's tissues.
