WHAT DOES COLLENCHYMA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ground tissue

The ground tissue of plants includes all tissues that are neither dermal nor vascular. It can be divided into three classes based on the nature of the cell walls. Parenchyma cells have thin primary walls and usually remain alive after they become mature. Parenchyma forms the "filler" tissue in the soft parts of plants. Collenchyma cells have thin primary walls with some areas of secondary thickening. Collenchyma provides extra structural support, particularly in regions of new growth. Sclerenchyma cells have thick lignified secondary walls and often die when mature. Sclerenchyma provides the main structural support to a plant.

Definition of collenchyma in the English dictionary

The definition of collenchyma in the dictionary is a strengthening and supporting tissue in plants, consisting of elongated living cells whose walls are thickened with cellulose and pectins.
