Solution
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
Explanation:
Parenchyma stores food, so A is true. Chloroplast-containing parenchyma is called chlorenchyma and performs photosynthesis; this fact does not explain food storage, so R is true but is not the explanation of A.
