Answer 2

Answer:

Phloem parenchyma is made up of elongated, tapering cylindrical cells, which have dense cytoplasm and nucleus. The cell wall is composed of cellulose and has pits through which plasmodesmata connections exist between the cells. The phloem parenchyma stores food material and other substances, like resins, latex, and mucilage. Phloem parenchyma is absent in most of the monocotyledons, as they store their food in other vacuoles.
