Final answer:

Sclerenchyma cells are a type of simple tissue that provides support in plants through fibers and sclereids.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sclerenchyma cells are a type of simple tissue in plants that provide support.

There are two types of sclerenchyma cells: fibers and sclereids. Both types have thick secondary cell walls made of lignin.

Fibers are long, slender cells, while sclereids are smaller-sized.

Sclerenchyma fibers can be used by humans to make linen and rope.

Sclereids are responsible for the gritty texture of pears.
