उत्तर
Sclerenchyma
Structure - Cells of sclerenchyma are dead. These cells are elongated, narrow, pointed at both ends, thick-walled, and lignified. Their cell walls are thick due to the secondary deposition of lignin.

Function - Sclerenchyma gives strength, rigidity, and flexibility to the plant body, thereby enabling it to withstand various strains.
