Question

What is the sclerenchyma​

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Strengthening tissue in a plant, formed from cells with thickened, typically lignified, walls.

Sclerenchyma (Gr. scleros, hard + enchyma, infusion, in reference to the infusion of lignin in the secondary cell walls) are nonconductive cells that have a thick, lignified secondary cell wall, typically with pits, and that are dead at maturity.

There are two types of sclerenchyma : (1) fibers, which are long, very narrow cells with sharply tapering end walls; and (2) sclereids, which are isodiametric to irregular or branched in shape.
