Coenenchyme
Appearance
Coenenchyme is the common tissue that surrounds and links the
microvilli. [1] The stiff projecting portion of coenenchyme that surrounds each polyp is usually reinforced by modified sclerites and is called the calyx,[2] a term borrowed from botany. The solenia circulate nutrients throughout the coenenchyme. Coenosarc is an alternative name.[3]
