Question

explain the growing tissue of the plants with the help of diagram

Answer 1

The tissue that supports a plant and their growing organs against any deformation and provides mechanical strength is termed as mechanical tissue. Haberlandt (1914) called the mechanical tissue as stereome. Schwendener in 1874 termed the mechanical cells (e.g. collenchyma, bast fibres and libriform fibres) as stereids. Schwendener is of opinion that stereids collectively constitute the stereome or the mechanical tissue system of plants.

Plant organs are to withstand various strains like stretching due to presence of large fruits, bending due to natural calamities like high wind and passing animals and downpour, heavy snow etc.
