• intercellular spaces
• living cells
• nucleus and vacuoles are found in soft parts
• provides temporary support
• large and thin - walled cell
• oval or spherical

2)collenchyma​​​​​​

• -cell wall is thick at the corners due to the deposition of pectin
• -elongated
• -thickened with cellulose
• -no intercellular spaces
• -provides flexibility
• -provides mechanical support

3)sclerenchyma
