NAME OF THE MODIFICATION OF PARENCHYMA CELL IN A LEAF
Answers
Answer:
its chlorenchyma........
Parenchyma cells may be modified with the addition of primary cell wall material, deposited mainly in the corners of the cells, to form collenchyma. Collenchyma grows with the plant and provides support to elongating stems, where it occurs in ridges under the epidermis and in midribs of leaves

Parenchyma, in plants, tissue typically composed of living cells that are thin-walled, unspecialized in structure, and therefore adaptable, with differentiation, to various functions. The cells are found in many places throughout plant bodies and, given that they are alive, are actively involved in photosynthesis, secretion, food storage, and other activities of plant life. Parenchyma is one of the three main types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants, together with sclerenchyma (dead support tissues with thick walls) and collenchyma (living support tissues with irregular walls).

ground tissue
The three types of ground, or fundamental, tissue in plants. Parenchyma tissue is composed of thin-walled cells and makes up the photosynthetic tissue in leaves, the pulp of fruits, and the endosperm of many seeds. Collenchyma cells mainly form supporting tissue and have irregular cell walls. They are found mainly in the cortex of stems and in leaves. The major function of sclerenchyma is support. Unlike collenchyma, mature cells of this tissue are generally dead and have thick walls containing lignin. Their size, shape, and structure vary greatly.
