What are fibrils?
Steel bars of cell wall
What fibrils does plant cell wall and fungi cell wall contains

Deposition of lignin
Lignification
Lignin is made up of
Carbohydrates
After lignification, the cell becomes dead because
Because protoplasm dies due to impermeability of water and lost contact with external environment
Examples of lignification
- Sclerenchyma
- Vessels
- Tracheids
Deposition of suberin

It is a waxy substance made up of lipids
Examples of suberisation
Endodermis in root
👇
Casparian strips
