Understanding Collenchyma and Sclerenchyma Tissues in Plants
Plant tissues play vital roles in providing structural support and protection. Collenchyma tissues are found in shoots and leaves, offering strength and flexibility, while sclerenchyma tissues provide rigid support in non-growing regions. Collenchyma cells have thickened corners for strength and pro
