The flexibility in plants is due to ________ tissue.

-Collenchyma consists of living cells and is characterised by the presence of cellulose.
-Collenchyma is a mechanical tissue in young dicotyledonous stems and provides mechanical support and elasticity.
– It provides great tensile strength with flexibility to those organs in which it is found. It allows easy bending in various parts of a plant mainly young growing stem without breaking them.
- Xylem: Carries water from roots to leaves in plants.
- Phloem: Transports food throughout vascular plants.
- Sclerenchyma: Provides structural support with usually dead cells.
