Describe how sclerenchyma tissues are related to their functions.

  • Cells have cell walls thickened with deposits of lignin. This provides great tensile strength for support.
  • Have elongated fibers which are arranged into strands or sheets to provide more support to the plant.
  • The end walls of the cells interlock with each other increasing their combined strength.
  • Mature cells possess empty lumen for transport
