Parenchyma refers to the functional tissue of an organ, as opposed to its structural connective tissue. In botany, parenchyma cells are the most common type of plant cell, forming the ground tissue of stems, roots, leaves, and fruits. These cells are typically thin-walled and have a variety of functions, including photosynthesis, storage of food and water, and secretion. In the leaves, parenchyma cells are known as mesophyll and are the primary site of photosynthesis. In roots and stems, parenchyma can store starch and other nutrients.
In zoology, parenchyma describes the soft, spongy tissue that fills the bodies of many invertebrates, particularly
