Question

Which tissue makes up the husk of coconut?

Answer 1

Hint: A group of cells having a common origin and cooperating with one another to perform a similar function is described as tissue.

Complete answer:
The tissue which makes up the husk of the coconut is “Sclerenchyma”. These tissues are considered as thick-walled, lignified, supportive tissue characterised by the absence of living protoplast. It is also known as supportive tissues of the plant. They are known to have extremely thick cell walls and do not participate in many of the other activities of the developing plant, such as photosynthesis, because their focus is strictly on support and structure.

Note: The tissues which are specialised to secrete or excrete products are called special tissues. These secreted substances may be useful or may not be useful to plants.
