Explanation

Sclerenchyma is a dead supportive tissue that consists of long sclerenchyma fibers or short, crystal-like cells called sclereids. Its main function is to support older plant organs and harden different parts of plants, such as making fruit inedible before ripeness so no one will take the fruit before seeds are ready to be distributed.
