Cell Wall

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

Real World Example

Imagine trying to transport a delicate cake without a box to protect it. Just like the box provides structural integrity and shielding for the cake, a plant cell's rigid cell wall supports and protects its delicate interior contents. The cell wall acts like the box by maintaining the cell's shape, preventing external damage, and ensuring everything inside stays safe and intact, much like ensuring the cake doesn't get squished on its journey.
