Basis of many plant structures and functions including

Can undergo cell division when mature, allowing them to repair damaged parts of plants

Plant cells that often are elongated and occur in long strands or cylinders that provide support for the surrounding cells

Have unevenly thickened cell walls

As collenchyma cell grows, the thinner portions of its cell wall can expand

plant cells that lack cytoplasm and other living components

Flexible and can stretch, which enables plants to bend without breaking

they provide support to the plant and transport some materials

They retain the ability to undergo cell division when mature

Storage (because of the thin walls)

Phtosyntesis

Gas exchange (on the lower part of the plant)

Protection (because of the flexibility)

Make up the long strings that you can pull from a celery stalk
