The correct Answer is:
To determine which tissue forms the main bulk of storage organs, we can analyze the characteristics and functions of the given tissues: parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, and achenchyma. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Tissues**: The four tissues mentioned are: - Parenchyma - Collenchyma - Sclerenchyma - Achenchyma 2. **Understand Parenchyma**: - Parenchyma cells are living cells that have the ability to divide continuously. - They contain large vacuoles which are essential for storage. - These vacuoles store various substances such as ions, waste products, and water. 3. **Function of Parenchyma**: - Parenchyma is the main component of ground tissues. - It plays a crucial role in storage organs, making it the primary tissue for storage. 4. **Analyze Other Tissues**: - **Collenchyma**: - Has thick cell walls. - Primarily provides mechanical support rather than storage. - **Sclerenchyma**: - Also has thick walls. - Functions mainly in providing structural support. - **Achenchyma**: - Generally involved in gas exchange. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the functions and characteristics of these tissues, parenchyma is the tissue that forms the main bulk of storage organs. ### Final Answer: The tissue that forms the main bulk of storage organs is **Parenchyma**.
