Correct option is A
The correct answer is (a) Collenchyma
Explanation:
● Collenchyma is a simple permanent tissue that provides mechanical support and flexibility to plants.
● It allows easy bending in various parts of a plant (like leaf stalks) without breaking.
● The cells of this tissue are living, elongated, and irregularly thickened at the corners.
Information Booster:
● Sclerenchyma – Provides stiffness and strength (makes plants hard).
● Parenchyma – Primarily involved in food storage and photosynthesis.
Additional Knowledge:
● Aerenchyma – Helps aquatic plants float by providing buoyancy.
