Question

Team JKSSB Mock Tests · Accepted Answer

Collenchyma is a simple permanent tissue characterized by cells with thickened corners due to the deposition of cellulose and pectin. It provides mechanical support, tensile strength, and flexibility to the growing parts of the plant (like stems and petioles), allowing them to bend without breaking. Parenchyma is for storage, and sclerenchyma provides rigid support.
