Explanation:
1) These are hard ,rigid anddead tissues.
2) The cell wall is very thick due to deposition of lignin , which is a waterproof material.
Intercellular spaces are absent.
3) These are specialized for providing mechanical support to the plant.
These are of two types =
I) Fibers
2) Sclereids
Fibres - These are much elongated cells with pointed ends.
Fibres occur in and around the vascular tissue,and may also occur below the epidermis as a sopportive tissue.
Some commercially important fibres are hemp,jute, cotton,flex,coir etc
Sclereids-These are short,rounded, thick walled cells. These occur singly or in group in stems,leaves fruits and seeds.The hardness of a seed coat is due to presence of abundant sclereids. The hard grit on a peer fruit is due to the presence of sclereids.
