Cells of this tissue are living and show angular wall thickening. They also provide mechanical support. The tissue is

A

xylem

B

sclerechyma

C

collenchyma

D

epidermis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Collenchyma This tissue provide mechanical support mainly to herbaceous young growing stem. The cells have angular thickening at the corners. Whereas, xylem is conductive complex tissue, transports water mineral
Sclerenchyma is dead at maturity, present in hard areas of the plant. Epidermis is usually a single layered structure present on the entire body surface of the plant.
