Most plant tissues are composed of parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma cells, the three primary types of plant cells. Thin-walled parenchyma cells are involved with functions such as photosynthesis, food storage, and tissue repair. Thick-walled collenchyma cells provide flexible support to growing parts of plants, while sclerenchyma cells have rigid cell walls that provide strength and structural support to mature plant tissues.
