they help to form a tissue called chlorenchyma which helps the plant to remain green
they store food and also provide temporary support to plant.

A generalized plant cell type,parenchyma cells are alive at maturity. They function in storage, photosynthesis, and as the bulk of ground and vascular tissues. Palisade parenchyma cells are elogated cells located in many leaves just below the epidermal tissue.

These are some characteristics of parenchyma
parenchyma is most simple and unspecialized primitive tissue.It mainly consists of thin walled cells which have intercellular spaces between them.the cell wall is made up of cellulose or calcium pectate.Each cell has a prominent nucleus and a vacuolate cytoplasm.The cells are living and perform metabolic processes.There is a large central vacuole in each cell.

Parenchyma is a simple permanent living tissue which is made up of unspecialized thin walled cells. The cells of parenchyma tissue are live and oval, rounded or polygonal in outline. Their wall is made up of cellulose. The cells in these tissues are usually loosely packed. Thus, large intercellular spaces are present in between the parenchyma cells. Each parenchyma cell encloses a large central vacuole, cytoplasm and a prominent nucleus. It is found univetsally in all the plants. It forms the major tissue of softer parts like the epidermis, cortex, pith and leaf mesophyll. It is also found in xylem and phloem.
