Parenchyma cells are thin-walled cells and is what most of this leaf shown here is comprised of. These cells form a "filler" layer that is found in plant leaves, stems, and roots. These cells have mainly three functions, depending on where they are located. These functions include storage and photosynthesis. These cells contain large vacuoles that are helpful for storage purposes. They also house chloroplasts, which is where photosynthesis mainly takes place.
