Summary Introduction
Introduction: Cell wall is a characteristic feature of plant cells. It can be tough and rigid. Cell wall provides structural support to plant cells. It also protects plant cells from external harmful particles. The cell wall in different plants constitutes different materials. Depending on the plant species, nature and strength of the cell wall differ.
