AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Aerenchyma**: Aerenchyma is a specialized type of parenchyma tissue found in certain plants, particularly those that grow in aquatic environments. 2. **Identifying Characteristics**: Aerenchyma is characterized by having large intercellular spaces. These spaces are essentially air-filled cavities that allow for gas exchange and buoyancy. 3. **Function of Aerenchyma**: The primary function of aerenchyma is to provide buoyancy to aquatic plants. The large air-filled spaces enable the plants to float on the surface of the water, which is crucial for their survival and growth in aquatic habitats. 4. **Conclusion**: Given the characteristics and functions of aerenchyma, the statement that "Aerenchyma is a specialized parenchyma occurring in aquatic plants" is true. **Final Answer**: True ---
