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

Real World Example

Imagine trying to carry a fragile, overfilled grocery bag without it tearing. The way the grocery bag holds everything together and prevents the items from spilling out is similar to how a plant cell wall functions. Just as the sturdy bag supports and protects its contents, the rigid structure of the cell wall surrounds and safeguards the plant cell, ensuring it maintains its shape and stays intact under pressure.
