The cells are dead on maturity and provide mechanical support and strength to the plants. Hence, fibres obtained from coconut husk are strong and can be used to make mats, ropes and brushes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Living parenchyma cells cannot provide similar strength <strong>due to their thin and tender cell walls<\/strong>. <br>Parenchyma cells mainly perform storage functions and photosynthesis.
