Question
Give the characteristic features of their cells.

Answer

Features of sclerenchyma fibers:
  • These are dead elements.
  • They have thick wall of lignin, are elongated and pointed at ends.
  • They have pits also.
  • They mostly occur in groups.
Features of sclereids:
  • These are dead elements.
  • These are oval, spherical and are thickened due to lognin deposition.
  • They have very narrow cavities at the centre.
