➼ In greek :-

Scleren + chyma

Scleren➡️hard

Chyma➡️tissue

$\mathtt{\bf{\large{\underline {\purple{Characteristics :-}}}}}$

➼ Sclerenchyma tissue is present in plants.

➼ Cells of sclerenchyma tissues are dead.

➼ The cell wall is thick due to the depositions of lignin (Lignin is a polymer helps in the formation of cell wall in wood and bark of trees.)

➼ The cells of this tissue can be of different shape and size.

$\mathtt{\bf{\large{\underline {\purple{Location :-}}}}}$

➼ They are located in the vains of leaves and hard covering of seeds.

$\mathtt{\bf{\large{\underline {\purple{Function :-}}}}}$

➼ These tissues provide strength, stiffness and hardness to the plant.
