Question

What is the main feature of tissues that provide structural strength to the plant

Answer 1

Plant tissues can be divided to 5 main types as ... feature of vessel cell walls is the high tensile strength.

Answer 2

Collenchyma and Schleranchhyma are two cells that provides structural as well as mechanical support to plants. These cells are characterized as:

Collenchyma cells

They can be round, oval or polygonal in shape with no intercellular spaces. These cells are thickened with huge deposits of cellulose and pectin which provides mechanical strength. We know that cellulose has a compact mesh like structure that provides strength to plant.

Schlerenchyma cells

They have lignified cell walls with strong walls which cover almost all the volume of the cell. The lignin make a wire like structure and provide tensile strength and avoids tearing.
