best_answer

The characteristics of sclerenchyma are:

  • This tissue consists of dead cells
  • They are long, narrow and the cell walls are thickened due to the presence of lignin in it
  • Lignin acts as a cement to make the hard cell wall
  • There is very less space inside the cell due to the thick walls of the cells
  • The cells are found in stems, around vascular bundles, in the veins of the leaves and in the hard covering of the seeds and nuts
