Detailed explanation-1: -Parenchyma is a very versatile type of ground tissue, and it is responsible for photosynthesis (how a plant makes food from sunlight) and food storage. Parenchyma cells are also responsible for healing in the plant-this tissue can go through cell division and regenerate when needed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The ground tissue of the vascular plant is responsible for storing the carbohydrates produced by the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -A ground tissue is a plant tissue other than those of the dermal tissues and the vascular tissues. It arises from the ground meristem.

Detailed explanation-4: -Parenchyma cells serve as the site for storage of sugar and starch in stem and roots. Sieve tube members and companion cells are the living component of phloem and serve in the transport of sugar. Sclerenchyma cells are dead cells that impart mechanical support to plant parts.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cells of Parenchyma are living, thin-walled, soft, and have a cellulosic cell wall. The main function of Parenchyma cells is in photosynthesis and storage of food materials.
