It helps water Hyacinth to float on water. What type of parenchyma tissue is it?
A
Chlorenchyma
B
collenchyma
C
Aerenchyma
D
schlerenchyma
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Water hyacinth has a special type of parenchyma tissue which is known as the aerenchyma. Aerenchyma is the spongy tissue that has air spaces or channels where the air is trapped, especially in the stem of the hyacinth. The stem part becomes buoyant and due to this, the water hyacinth floats on the surface of the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -A special type of parenchyma tissue called aerenchyma helps plants to float in water. It is present in aquatic and some land plants. Aerenchyma forms a spongy tissue that consists of air providing buoyancy to the floating plants.

Detailed explanation-3: -Such, parenchyma cells are called as aerenchyma. Water hyacinth possess such cells, which make them enable to float in water. Was this answer helpful? 0.

Detailed explanation-4: -A special type of parenchyma; called aerenchyma is present in water hyacinth. This tissue has air-filled spaces inside and because the air gets trapped in the stem part it becomes buoyant. Due to this, water hyacinth floats on the water surface.

Detailed explanation-5: -In aquatic plants, large air cavities are present in parenchyma to give buoyancy to the plants to help them float.
