- Has hard, double-walled cells — Sclerenchyma (thick, lignified secondary walls; often dead at maturity; fibers/sclereids)

- Produces food and auxins — Parenchyma (living, photosynthetic/storage cells; site of metabolic activity and hormone production)

- Is strong but flexible — Collenchyma (living cells with unevenly thickened primary walls that give flexible support)
