1. Parenchyma cells: These are the most common type of plant cell. They are responsible for various functions, including photosynthesis, storage, and support. They have thin walls and a large central vacuole.
2. Collenchyma cells: These cells provide structural support, particularly in young, growing plant parts. They have thickened cell walls, often in specific areas, and are flexible, allowing for growth.
3. Sclerenchyma cells: These cells provide structural support and rigidity in mature plant tissues. They have thick, rigid cell walls, often impregnated with lignin, and are typically dead at maturity. Sclerenchyma cells are further divided into fibers and sclereids.
