The ground tissue system synthesizes organic compounds, supports the plant and provides storage for the plant. It is mostly made up of plant cells called parenchyma cells but can also include some collenchyma and sclerenchyma cells as well. Parenchyma cells synthesize and store organic products in a plant.
This root word means 'cellular tissue.' Parenchyma is the most common form of tissue in plants and provides a variety of functions, including the storage of food and water. Collenchyma tissue helps support young stems and roots. Lastly, sclerenchyma tissue provides rigid support and protection for the plant stem.
