Features of the structure of leaf cells in cuckoo flax and sphagnum.

Sphagnum. Leaves are made up of living, elongated cells containing chloroplasts, which are interconnected to form a network. These cells carry out photosynthesis and produce organics that are transported through the network to other parts of the plant. Between the cells of the network there are large, dead cells filled with water or, in its absence, with air. Water absorption occurs through the entire surface of the plant, due to the pores in each dead drainage cell.
Kukushkin flax has a more complex leaf structure. The outer layer consists of columns of 3-8 cells carrying out photosynthesis, behind them are primitive bundles of conductive tissue, consisting of both dead cells that form tubes through which water is carried, and living cells that conduct organic matter.
