Answer 1

Answer:

$answer$

Sclerenchyma:-

Sclerenchyma cells have thickened lignified walls, which make them strong and waterproof. They are commonly classified into support types and conducting forms.

Support sclerenchyma is comprised of sclereids and fibers. This tissue reduces wilting, but it is energetically costly for the plant to create. Sclerenchyma matures with the surrounding tissues and provides more permanent support than collenchyma, maintaining the established morphology of the plant. Fibers have tapered ends, can be many centimeters long, and comprise the bundle caps and sheaths characteristic of vascular bundles, especially in monocotyledonous plants. The bundle sheath may form bundle sheath extensions by spreading to the epidermis, especially in grass leaves.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Mature sclerenchyma cells are usually dead cells that have heavily thickened secondary walls containing lignin. ... They characteristically contain very thick, hard secondary walls lined with lignin; consequently, sclerenchyma provides additional support and strength to the plant body.
