Detailed explanation-1: -Collenchyma and sclerenchyma are supporting tissues in plants. They are composed of cells with thick cell walls that whithstand mechanical forces. Although both tissues share the same function, they show different location in the body plant and their cell walls have different structure and texture.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collenchyma cells are commonly found adjacent to outer growing tissues such as the vascular cambium and help in structural support and integrity. Unlike the collenchyma, Sclerenchyma is composed of dead cells with very thick cell walls and supports tissue in plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -4.1. Support sclerenchyma is comprised of sclereids and fibers. This tissue reduces wilting, but it is energetically costly for the plant to create. Sclerenchyma matures with the surrounding tissues and provides more permanent support than collenchyma, maintaining the established morphology of the plant.
