Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sclerenchyma and collenchyma are types of support tissues found in herbaceous plants. Sclerenchyma cells have thick walls and provide rigid support, while collenchyma cells have unevenly thickened cell walls and provide flexible support. Cork cells and cortex are not involved in support, epidermis and phloem are not considered support tissues in herbaceous plants, and while parenchyma cells may provide some support, they are not as specialized for this function as sclerenchyma and collenchyma.
