modifications of parenchyma -
1. prosenchyma -cells are thick walled, elongated with pointed ends. function --provides mechanical strength.
2. arenchyma --modified parenchyma having air spaces. Present in hydrophytes in cortex and provide buoyancy.
3.mucilage parenchyma --large vacuoles are present. Stores mucilage (water). Present in succulent xerophytes e. g.aloe,opuntia etc .
4. Stellate parenchyma --Star shaped parenchyma. Present at leaf bases of banana. Provides mechanical strength.
5. chlorenchyma --parenchyma contains large amount of chloroplast.
function --photosynthesis.

The following are the modifications in the parenchyma cells:
Explanation:
The parenchyma is the functional tissue in plant organs the main function of the parenchyma acts as a connective and supporting tissues. The following are the modification in the parenchymatous cells:
1. These cells are modified with the primary cell wall material.
2. The cells are modified with the materials that are present on the corners of the cells to form the collenchyma.
3. These cells are modified to consists of chloroplast to carry out the process of photosynthesis.
