Dear student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query

Collenchyma tissue is usually present in the stem and leaf stalks
of dicots It is absent in monocots and in the roots of dicots Most
of the monocots develop sclerenchyma tissue in their early stages
of development However there are some exceptions like- in grasses,
collenchyma substitutes sclerenchyma at many locations such as at
the junction of blade and sheath
Hence, collenchyma is not completely absent in monocots
