$\huge\green {Plasmodermata}$

• Plasmodesmata are living cytoplasmic connections between neighboring plant cells which run through very fine pores in the cell wall.
• They help to establish a continuous system of cytoplasm for transport of substances between cells.
• Plasmodesmata are present in the phloem (food-conducting cells of the plant).

Structure of Plasmodesmata

• They are roughly cylindrical, membrane-lined channels with a diameter of 20 to 40 nm.

Functions of Plasmodesmata

• They are narrow channels that act as intercellular cytoplasmic bridges to facilitate communication and transport of materials between plant cells.
• They serve to connect the symplastic space in the plant and are extremely specialized channels that allow for intercellular movement of water, various nutrients, and other molecules.
• Plasmodesmata function in intercellular communication, i.e., they allow molecules to pass directly from cell to cell.
