Permanent tissues in Plant

Explanation:

A) The cell walls of parenchyma cells are thinner than those of sclerenchyma cells

Plants posses basically two kinds of tissue - meristematic tissue and permanent tissue.

Meristematic tissue is made up of cells which are capable of active division and give rise to other tissues,.

Permanent tissue are already differentiated and usually do not divide.

Permanent tissues are - collenchyma, sclerenchyma and parenchyma.

Parenchyma and collenchyma are living whereas sclerenchyma is non-living.
