Question

Though Chlorenchyma, Aerenchyma and storage tissues are parenchyma in nature. Why do they have different(specific) names?

Answer 1

Chlorenchyma are parenchyma cells present in the mesophyll cells of the leaves which possess Chloroplast and hence the name.

Aerenchyma are the parenchyma cells present in floating water plants which have air vacuoles that give them buoyancy and help them float.

So they are given special names due to the special modification.
