What are parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma?

Ground tissues are one of the three main types of plant tissues, along with dermal and vascular tissues. They are called "ground" tissues because they make up the bulk of the plant body and are located between the dermal and vascular tissues. Ground tissues are involved in various functions, including photosynthesis, storage of nutrients, and mechanical support. Parenchyma, collenchyma, and sclerenchyma are the three types of ground tissues, each with their own unique structure and function within the plant.
