sclerenchyma is a suppprting tissue that gives the plants rigidity and support to make it stand upright. It is made up of scleroids and fibre.
Scleroids are small stonelike materials that are arranged in a way that helps the plants withstand force.
For example when rain falls and the wind's current is strong, it sways the plant from left to right but because of sclerenchyma, the plant can withstand the current and return to its normal position. But if the winds current or force is stroonger than that of the sclenchyma, the plant bends or breaks
