The flexibility in plants is due to a tissue called

•  📌Concept:
-Collenchyma is a specialized simple permanent tissue that provides support and flexibility to plants.
-This tissue is made up of living cells having uneven thickenings of cellulose, pectin, and hemicellulose on the walls.
-Cells possess chloroplast, then it is involved in manufacturing sugar and starch.
-Provides tensile strength and flexibility to the plant body.

✅Explanation:
-Parenchyma- this tissue provides support to plants. It also stores food. So this option is not correct.
-Collenchyma- it allows easy bending of plant parts and provides flexibility. So the option is correct.
-Sclerenchyma- this tissue makes the plant hard and stiff. It is present in the husk of a coconut. So the option is not correct.

🔴Additional Information:
-Parenchyma is the most common and abundant tissue in plants which is made up of thin-walled living cells having a distinct nucleus.
-The main function of parenchyma is to store and assimilate food. Hence, they are referred to as food storage tissues.
-Serves as a packing tissue to fill the spaces between other tissues and maintain the shape and firmness of the plant.
-Stores waste products of plants.
-Sclerenchyma is a lignified supportive tissue made up of thick-walled and lignified cells.
-Provides mechanical strength to the plant.
