Trending Questions
Collenchyma is seen only in herbaceous dicots. Why?
Because collenchyma cells are not formed in monocots due to absence of lignin
Because woody dicots have sclerenchyma tissues to provide mechanical support
Because monocots grow as small herbs and don't need much mechanical support
Herbaceous dicots need collenchyma cells for photosynthesis
Collenchyma cells contain thick cell walls and provide support and structure.
