Collenchyma allows bending of various parts of a plant like tendrils and stems of climbers without breaking, and it also provides mechanical support.
Collenchyma provides flexible structural support in plants, allowing them to withstand mechanical stress without hindering growth. Located in stems, leaves, and petioles, its cells have thickened cell walls, primarily composed of cellulose and pectin, which enable flexibility and strength.
