Plant tissue made up of cells joined together, forming a continuous mass without air spaces.
From Greek en- (in) + khýma (infusion or fluid poured in). The term describes plant tissue where cells are tightly packed together in a cohesive mass.
Enchyma is the opposite of aerenchyma (tissue with air spaces)—plants use dense enchyma in roots and supportive tissues where they need strength rather than gas exchange!
