Question

Parenchyma cells filling the space between dermal and vascular tissues form ________.

• A. Ground tissue
• B. Epidermal tissue
• C. Medulla
• D. Vascular tissue

Answer 1

The correct option is A Ground tissue

The tissues present in a plant which are dermal nor vascular are called ground tissues.

1) Parenchyma cells- are the cells which have a thin primary wall, they are usually present in the pericycle, pith, and medullary rays of primary stem and root.

2) Collenchyma cells - have thin primary walls with secondary thickening at corners.

• They provide mechanical and structural support in regions of new growth in plants.
  

3) Sclerenchyma cells - have a thick and lignified secondary walls and are dead in nature.

• They provide structural support to plants.
  

So, the correct answer is 'Ground tissue'.
