Description
Plant tissues are composed of three main cell types: parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma. Parenchyma cells are involved in storage, photosynthesis, and gas exchange. Collenchyma provides support and flexibility, while sclerenchyma offers support and facilitates material transport.
