Step-by-step solution
Collenchyma, part of the ground tissue, is a simple living tissue found in plants. Collenchyma layer is generally found below epidermis of the plant. They are either found in a patch manner or even distributed throughout.

This tissue provides mechanical support to the young stem and leaf. The cross section of dicot plant stem has e
