We have a term called 'socket cell PO:0000115' defined as 'Cell that surrounds a trichome and provides its support.' Looks like its the same thing. I can add the synonym 'trichome support cell' to 'socket cell PO:0000115'.

Removed xref to CL:0000297 on socket cell (PO:0000115) as that term has been obsoleted in the Cell Ontology.
Added additional xrefs to PMID:10938806 and OBO_SF2_PO
