There are four types of tissues present in the plants, namely vascular tissue, epidermal tissue, ground tissue, and meristematic tissue.
Ground tissue consists of parenchyma tissue, collenchyma tissue, and sclerenchyma tissue.
Parenchyma cells are present in the mesophyll of the leaves. These are the specialized cells called chlorenchyma cells due to the presence of chloroplasts and chlorophyll pigments.
They are responsible for photosynthesis and the exchange of gases.

Parenchyma is a type of basic permanent tissue that can be found all over a plant's body.
Explanation:
- Big, loosely packed, roughly spherical or cube shaped cells with thin cell walls, wide sap vacuoles, and large intercellular spaces make up parenchyma, a living tissue.
- Because parenchyma fills in gaps between other tissues, it is referred to as packing tissue in its unspecialized form. This packing tissue is necessary for wound healing and the regeneration of plant components.
- Living cells with thin cell walls that are loosely packed to allow for intracellular space make up these tissues. Parenchyma permanent tissue cells are typically round or oval in form.
- Because parenchyma contains chlorophyll, it participates in photosynthesis. It offers storage capabilities as well as other features. The parenchyma cell wall is made up of cellulose and contains vacuoles and a nucleus.
