Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The elongated cell with thickened corners of the primary cell wall is a characteristic feature of collenchyma cells. Collenchyma cells provide mechanical support to the plant and are found in regions of the plant that undergo active growth and elongation. The thickened corners of the cell wall, also known as the "collenchyma thickenings," provide extra structural support and allow for flexibility without breaking.
