Aerenchyma is derived from C) Parenchyma.

Aerenchyma is a specialized type of plant tissue that consists of loosely arranged parenchyma cells with large air spaces between them. This tissue is adapted to provide buoyancy to aquatic plants, allowing them to float in water and exchange gases effectively. It's commonly found in the roots, stems, and leaves of aquatic and semi-aquatic plants.
