Answer:
Sclerenchyma is a plant tissue providing mechanical stiffness and strength. Fibres and sclereids are the main types of sclerenchyma cells. Most sclerenchyma cells show intrusive growth. The cell walls of sclerenchyma have thickened secondary layers made from cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin.

Sclerenchyma tissue, when mature, is composed of dead cells that have heavily thickened walls containing lignin and a high cellulose content (60%–80%), and serves the function of providing structural support in plants. Sclerenchyma cells possess two types of cell walls: primary and secondary walls.
