Answer 1

Sclerenchyma is a plant tissue providing mechanical stiffness and strength.The cell walls of sclerenchyma have thickened secondary layers made from cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. The stiffness of sclerenchyma depends on the orientation of cellulose and varies widely under developmental control.

1)schlerenchyma is a dead meristematic tissue 2)It makes the plant hard and stiff.
3)They are long and narrow as the walls are thickened due to lignin.
4)This tissue is present in stems,around vascular bundles.
5)It can be seen on the outer covering of coconut
