Question

Write in detail how the roots are modified as mechanical tissue with help of well labelled diagram?

Answer 1

Answer:

In this article we will discuss about the mechanical tissue in plants. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of mechanical tissues in plants.

The tissue that supports a plant and their growing organs against any deformation and provides mechanical strength is termed as mechanical tissue. Haberlandt (1914) called the mechanical tissue as stereome. Schwendener in 1874 termed the mechanical cells (e.g. collenchyma, bast fibres and libriform fibres) as stereids. Schwendener is of opinion that stereids collectively constitute the stereome or the mechanical tissue system of plants.
