The most abundant plant tissue with thin cell walls and intercellular spaces
Sclerenchyma cells have thick, rigid cell walls made of lignin, which provides structural support to the plant. These thick walls don't leave room for intercellular spaces, resulting in a dense and compact arrangement of cells. This lack of intercellular spaces contributes to the strength and rigidity provided by sclerenchyma tissues.
The spongy layer or mesophyll has many air spaces.
There are no intercelluar spaces present in the scerlenchymatous tissue as it provides rigidity to the plants part in which they are present.They contain a chemical called lignin which acts as a cement like substance which hardens the cels & also the cells of sclerenchyma are dead
PARENCHYMA: 1) the tissue consists of thin-walled living cells. 2) it is distributed in almost all the parts of the plant body . 3) the living cells of parenchyma assimilate and store food .They also store waste products. 4) It contain dense cytoplasm. 5) Intercellular spaces may or may not be present. COLLENCHYMA: 1)the tissue consists of cells having localized thickening in their cell walls 2)it occurs mostly in the aerial parts of the plants restricted to the other layers 3)collenchyma is the chief mechanical tissue of the young parts of the plant particularly in the young dicotyledonous stems. in parenchyma cells are thin walled having intercellular spaces.and in collenchyma cells are thick walled having the absence of intercellular spaces. 4) It contain cellulose and pectin. 5) Intercellular spaces are totally absent. 6) Collenchyma is present in peripheral regions.
In monocots, the stomata serve as the primary breathing organ of the leaves. These small openings on the leaf surface allow for gas exchange, facilitating the uptake of carbon dioxide and the release of oxygen during photosynthesis. Additionally, the intercellular spaces within the leaf tissue help in the diffusion of gases. Overall, the stomatal function is crucial for the plant's respiration and photosynthetic processes.
Intercellular spaces are there for gas exchange between cells. Because of these spaces, cells deeper in the tissue can get the gas. If not, only the cells on the surface will get what they need.
to let gases go from 1 cell to another
Sclerenchyma cells have thick, rigid cell walls made of lignin, which provides structural support to the plant. These thick walls don't leave room for intercellular spaces, resulting in a dense and compact arrangement of cells. This lack of intercellular spaces contributes to the strength and rigidity provided by sclerenchyma tissues.
The intercellular material of vascular tissue is primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, and pectin. These structural components provide support and strength to vascular tissues, allowing for the efficient transport of water, nutrients, and organic molecules throughout the plant.
The spongy layer or mesophyll has many air spaces.

Apoplastic flow is the movement of water and solutes through the cell walls and intercellular spaces of plant tissues. This pathway allows for the transport of substances without crossing a plasma membrane.
Spongy Layer - A layer of the mesophyll. The spongy layer consists of chloroplasts and parenchyma cells, and relatively large intercellular spaces. It is far less ordered than the palisade layer, and the intercellular spaces are important in gas exchange and transpiration.

Throughout the plant in a tissue analagous to the vascular system but filled with gas. This specialized tissue can be called "aerenchyma." It is used for storage of oxygen, and conveyance of oxygen from the photosynthetic areas of the plant down to the rhizomes and roots. It also is used to maintain buoyancy of the photosynthetic part of the plant, keeping it upright.
