Collenchyma are living cells similar to parenchyma cell except that they have much thicker cell walls and are usually elongated and packed into long ropelike
fibers.
They are capable of stretching and provide mechanical support in the ground tissue system of the elongating regions of the plant.
Collenchyma cells are especially common in subepidermal regions of stems.
Sclerenchyma, like collenchyma, have strengthening and supporting functions.
However, they are usually dead cells with thick, lignified secondary cell walls that prevent them from stretching as the plant grows.
Two common types are fibers, which often form long bundles, and sclereids, which are shorter branched cells found in seed coats and fruit.
A transfer cell, a specialized form of parenchyma cell, is readily identified by elaborate ingrowths of the primary cell wall.
The increase in the area of the plasma membrane beneath these walls facilitates the rapid transport of solutes to and from cells of the vascular system.
Ground tissue
The ground tissue system contains three main cell types called parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma.
Parenchyma cells are found in all plant tissue systems.
They are living cells, generally capable of further division, and have a thin primary cell wall.
Thes cells have a variety of functions.
The apical and lateral meristematic cells of shoots and roots provide the new cells required for growth.
Food production and storage occur in the photosynthetic cells of the leaf and stem (called mesophyll cells); storage parenchyma cells form the bulk of most fruits and vegetables.
Because of their proliferative capacity, parenchyma cells also serve as sources of new cells for wound healing and regeneration.
