Question

If you observe the stem of aquatic plant it will be hollow ,what type of parachyma tissue is present in that hollow stem​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Parenchyma, often the most common ground tissue, takes its name from the Greek para, meaning beside, and egchnma, meaning the contents of a pitcher (literally, something poured beside), indicating its ubiquitous nature throughout the plant body. It forms, for example, the cortex and pith of stems, the photosynthetic tissue layer within the epidermis of the leaves (mesophyll), the cortex of roots, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of seeds. Parenchyma is composed of relatively simple, undifferentiated parenchyma cells. In most plants, metabolic activity (such as respiration, digestion, and photosynthesis) occurs in these cells because they, unlike many of the other types of cells in the plant body, retain their protoplasts (the cytoplasm, nucleus, and cell organelles) that carry out these functions.

Parenchyma cells are capable of cell division, even after they have differentiated into the mature form. They can therefore give rise to adventitious buds and roots at some distance from the apical meristem at the tips of shoots and roots. Parenchyma cells are also capable of further differentiation into new cell types under appropriate conditions, such as after trauma. (For information concerning the development of bark during the secondary growth of tissues, see below Vascular tissue.) Parenchyma cells are active in secretion, photosynthesis, and water and food storage (especially in fleshy fruits). They have large fluid-filled vacuoles that maintain cell turgidity; when a plant wilts, for example, it is because the vacuoles in the parencha cells have lost water and have become flaccid. Thus, parenchyma also functions in plant support. However, parenchyma cells do not have a secondary cell wall at maturity and thus remain flexible and capable of elongation.
