The rigid structure around a plant cell that supports and protects it

Real World Example

Imagine trying to carry a delicate, overflowing grocery bag without it tearing. Just like the sturdy paper bag that holds and protects your groceries from spilling everywhere, a plant's cell wall serves a similar purpose for the cell. The cell wall acts like the strong paper bag, providing the necessary support and protection to maintain the shape and integrity of the plant cell, ensuring everything inside stays safely in place.
