Sclerenchyma – These are long, dead cells with a deposit of lignin in their cell wall.  They have no intercellular spaces. They provide strength to the plant and its structures. Sclerenchyma occur around the vascular tissues in stems, in the veins of leaves, and in the covering of seeds and nuts. Sclerenchymatous cells are lignified and elongated dead cells. Fibrous region of the plant is made up of sclerenchymatous tissue, a collection of sclerenchymatous cells.  Fibres and sclereids are two types of sclerenchymatous cells. Sclereids usually shorter than fibres are lignified elongated dead cells.
