Parenchyma is a simple tissue present in plants. Which helps in regenerator, wound healing and grafting. This tissue can also undergo differentiation to produce meristematic tissue and helps in production of new cells. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A. Hence, the correct option is (a)
