Parenchyma is the functional, living tissue of an organ or part, in contrast to supporting or interstitial tissue. In botany and anatomy, it refers to the essential, metabolically active cells that carry out photosynthesis, secretion, or absorption. The term emphasizes the tissue's functional role, not its structural framework.
