Below is a well-labeled diagram of parenchyma:
Diagram of Parenchyma Tissue
The diagram of parenchyma tissues shows the composition of the most abundant simple tissue found in plants. In cross-section, cells of the parenchyma appear loosely packed, isodiametric, and thin-walled. These cells perform various functions like photosynthesis, storage of nutrients, secretion, and provide support.
Parenchyma cells are progenitors of other permanent tissues in plants and differentiate to form sclerenchyma and collenchyma. It acts as the ground substance for the plants where other tissues remain embedded. In this article, we will look into the diagram of Parenchyma tissues along with their characteristics and structure.
