Answer:
It is the tissue Collenchyma which provides tensile strength to the plant stem.
Explanation:
These cells are generally long, have irregular thick cells, that provides support to the structure. These thick cell walls are mainly made up of compounds like pectin as well as cellulose. These collenchyma cells provide mechanical support by forming an inner structural support or framework, are highly elastic and tensile. These cells are mainly found in shoots and leaves.
