Answer 1

Answer: allow the tissue to stretch

Explanation:

The elastic fibers are the important fibers which consists of elastin. Elastin is a rubber like protein. The elastic fibers are found in the extracellular matrix of the connective tissue. It allows the fibers to recoil and stretch to the maximum such as a rubber band. This makes the fiber flexible.
