Answer:
- A lenticel is a porous tissue consisting of cells with large intercellular spaces in the periderm of the secondarily thickened organs and the bark of woody stems and roots of dicotyledonous flowering plants.
- It functions as a pore, providing a pathway for the direct exchange of gases between the internal tissues and atmosphere through the bark, which is otherwise impermeable to gases.
- The shape of lenticels is one of the characteristics used for tree identification.
- In plant bodies that produce secondary growth, lenticels promote gas exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
- Lenticel formation usually begins beneath stomatal complexes during primary growth preceding the development of the first periderm.
