(a) Parenchyma is the common living component of two complex permanent, tissues, xylem and phloem- It takes part in storage of nutrients and slow lateral conduction (water in xylem and nutrients in phloem). (b) Function differences. Xylem:- 1.Xylem conducts sap (water and minerals) 2. Conduction isRead more
(a) Parenchyma is the common living component of two complex permanent, tissues, xylem and phloem- It takes part in storage of nutrients and slow lateral conduction (water in xylem and nutrients in phloem).
(b) Function differences.
Xylem:- 1.Xylem conducts sap (water and minerals)
2. Conduction is mostly unidirectional, upwardly from roots to stem tips and leaves.
Phloem:- 1. Phloem conducts solutes or nutrients.
2. Conduction is often bidirectional from leaves. to roots and from roots to stem tips.
(a) Plant tissue in husk of coconut is sclerenchyma fibres. Reason for stiffness of sclerenchyma is deposition of lignin in cell walls of its cells. (b) Sclerenchyma fibres are thick walled dead cells while parenchyma cells are thin walled living cells.

parenchyma is a simple permanent tissue of angiospermic plants. It is present in cortex and pith of stem and roots. It is also present in the mesophyll of leaves.
