Cells with secondary cell wall thickening typically contain lignin. Lignin is a chemical substance that resists breakdown.

Detailed explanation-4: -In metaxylem vessel cells, which are the major components of xylem tissues, active ROP11 Rho GTPases form oval plasma membrane domains that locally disrupt cortical microtubules, thereby directing the formation of oval pits in secondary cell walls [3-5].
