In a botany standpoint please answer this: Parenchyma is one of the most common tissue types. Describe common human use(s) for parenchyma. Which properties of parenchyma make it suitable for human use?
Parenchyma is a term used to describe the functional tissues in plants and animals. In plants, "parenchyma" is one of the three main types of ground tissue, and the most common. arenchyma cells make up the bulk of the soft parts of plants, including the insides of leaves, flowers and fruits. In plants,this tissue is “functional” performing tasks such as photosynthesis.
In plants, parenchymal cells with thin cell walls and the ability to reproduce fulfill more functions including:
As we know that photosynthesis is the source of oxygen gas on earth which useful for human and animals survival. Parenchyma wound the injured tissues of plants and help plants to survive for longer period and hence parenchyma maintain the greenery on the earth surface.
