Sclerenchyma mainly provides

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Plant Tissue Types and Functions
	**Related Topics**:  Sclerenchyma, Parenchyma, Collenchyma, Plant Anatomy
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of plant tissues.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	- Question asks for the main function of sclerenchyma.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the function of sclerenchyma tissue.
		Reasoning: Sclerenchyma is known for providing structural support due to its thick, lignified cell walls.
		Formula/Rule:  N/A
	2. Identify the option that matches the function.
		Working: Option B states 'Mechanical support to the organs of plants', which aligns with the function of sclerenchyma.
	3. Select the correct answer.
		Result: Option B is the correct answer.
		Verification: Option B directly reflects the primary function of sclerenchyma.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Sclerenchyma is not primarily for storage; parenchyma is the storage tissue.
[B] ✓: Sclerenchyma's main function is mechanical support due to its thick cell walls.
[C] :x: Sclerenchyma is not primarily secretory; specialized cells handle secretion.
[D] :x: While sclerenchyma provides strength in monocots, it is not its *main* function. Furthermore, it is not only found below epidermis. It's general function is mechanical support.
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Confusing tissue types]: [Remember that different tissues have distinct functions in plants.]
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Sclerenchyma = Strength]: [Associate 'Sclerenchyma' with 'structural strength' to recall its function easily.]
