hi buddy.

the answer might be sclerenchyma

Answer 2

Answer:

C) Scleren chyma

Explanation:

• Parenchyma :- The cells of this tissue are living, with thin cell walls. The parenchyma tissue is located in the soft parts of the plant such as cortex and pith. It mainly acts as a packing tissue, providing mechanical support. It also helps in the storage of food.

• Collenchyma – These cells are living cells and have an elongated shape. The corners of the cell wall are thickened. There is very little intercellular space present.  Its main function is to provide flexibility to the plants as well as mechanical support.

• Sclerenchyma is a dead, long, narrow cells with thick and lignified cell walls having a few or numerous pits provide mechanical support and are economically important.
• Xylem is the transport tissue in vascular plants.The xylem tissue is responsible for the conduction of water and minerals from the roots to the leaves and stem. It also provides support to the plants.
