Overview
Collenchyma cells are special cells found in most plants. They are very important in the formation of a plant's cell walls and they give the plant strength and flexibility. They also provide support, elasticity, and water-binding properties. In addition, they can help protect the plant from environmental stresses, such as frost. Collenchyma cells are vital to the growth and development of many plants, making them important in horticulture, agriculture, and forestry.
