  2. Ground tissue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_tissue

    Parenchyma forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants, and is usually present in cortex, pericycle, pith, and medullary rays in primary stem and root. Collenchyma cells have thin primary walls with some areas of secondary thickening. Collenchyma provides extra mechanical and structural support, particularly in regions of new growth.

  3. Sclereid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sclereid

    These are sclereids with thick cell walls and numerous pits, resembling adjacent parenchyma cells. This resemblance suggests that these sclereids are originally parenchyma cells, but are so sclerified that they are now sclereid cells rather than parenchyma cells. These sclereids are an example of brachysclereids, or stone cells.

  4. Cortex (botany) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortex_(botany)

    Sclerenchyma 6. Cortex 7. Epidermis. In botany, a cortex is an outer layer of a stem or root in a vascular plant, lying below the epidermis but outside of the vascular bundles. [1] The cortex is composed mostly of large thin-walled parenchyma cells of the ground tissue system and shows little to no structural differentiation. [2]

  5. Plant stem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_stem

    Ground tissue usually consists mainly of parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells, and they surround vascular tissue. Ground tissue is important in aiding metabolic activities (eg. respiration, photosynthesis, transport, storage) as well as acting as structural support and forming new meristems. [7]

  6. Parenchyma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenchyma

    Lung parenchyma showing damage due to large subpleural bullae. Parenchyma (/ p ə ˈ r ɛ ŋ k ɪ m ə /) [1] [2] is the bulk of functional substance in an animal organ or structure such as a tumour. In zoology, it is the tissue that fills the interior of flatworms. In botany, it is some layers in the cross-section of the leaf. [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_cell_wall

    The secondary cell wall is a structure found in many plant cells, located between the primary cell wall and the plasma membrane.The cell starts producing the secondary cell wall after the primary cell wall is complete and the cell has stopped expanding. [1]
