The first cell described is a fiber cell, which is a type of sclerenchyma cell known for its elongated shape and thick, secondary cell walls that provide rigid support. The second cell is described as having thickened primary cell walls at the corners, which is characteristic of collenchyma cells, also known for providing support but with more flexibility than sclerenchyma cells.
