Sclerenchyma is a type of simple permanent tissue found in plants that provides structural support and strength. It is characterized by its thick, lignified secondary cell walls, which are often so heavily thickened that the cell lumen becomes very narrow or completely obliterated. Lignification, the process of depositing lignin, makes the cell walls rigid and impermeable to water. Due to these characteristics, sclerenchyma cells are typically dead at maturity.
There are two main types of sclerenchyma cells: fibers and sclereids. Fibers are typically elongated cells,
The presence of sclerenchyma contributes to the rigidity and mechanical support of various plant parts, allowing
