Collenchyma is a supporting tissue characteristic of the growing organs of many herbaceous and woody plants, and it is also found in stems and leaves of mature herbaceous plants, including those that are only slightly modified by secondary growth.
=> Collenchyma performs both functions mechanical as well as biological .
=> Provide tensile strength against bending and swaying(mechanical function)
=> It provides support to the growing parts of plant such as young stem and petiole of leaf
=> Due to the presence of chloroplast photo synthesis process also occured (vital function)
