This is a picture of a plant which represents parenchyma cells. Parenchyma cells are thin walled cells that make up the insides of stems, roots, and leaves. They contain a central vacuole  which is used in many plant cells to store important materials and insure optimal pressure inside the plant. This stem is made out of parenchyma cells which help to make the stem firm and upright.
