(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.

Unstriated muscle: (i) The cells of unstriated muscles are long, pointed at the ends and uninucleated. (ii) These muscles are present in alimentary canal, blood vessels, iris of the eye, ureter and bronchi. Cardiac muscle: (i) The cells of cardiac muscles are cylindrical, branched and uninucleated.Read more
