Detailed explanation-1: -Collenchyma cells have two main functions in plants, to provide flexible support to newly growing tissue and to fill in empty areas that will be later used for growth. Collenchyma are known for their living protoplast, unevenly thickened cell walls, and flexible nature.
Detailed explanation-2: -Collenchyma tissues are composed of oval or prismatic cells that are commonly elongated and can occur in long strands or cylinders. Collenchyma tissue is specialised to provide flexibility to various parts of the plant like petiole and stem since they are non lignified. It allows for easy bending without breakage.
Detailed explanation-3: -Collenchyma cells in vascular plants support growing parts due to flexible cellulosic walls, which lignify once growth has ceased.
