Solution
Crystal
Structure - Three common types of crystals are found in plants: druses (spherical crystal aggregates), raphides (long pointed needles found in bundles), and prisms. Despite the variety of crystal structures found throughout the plant cells, all crystals contain calcium oxalate.
Function - Crystals either protect plants from animals or they may provide extra support.
