Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Palisade tissue is composed of elongated usually chlorenchymatous cells which occur adjacent to the epidermis or buried more deeply in the cortex or mesophyll of plant stems and leaves. In its commonest form it is made up of cylindrical cells with their long axes at right angles to the surface of the organ.
Detailed explanation-2: -Palisade cells occupy a larger surface on the leaves and contain moisture helps for easier diffusion of gases. The cell wall is thin in palisade cells that result in larger penetration of light into the cell structure and higher diffusion rate.
