Functions of the cell wall

---

· The main function of the wall is to protect the inner parts of the plant cell, it gives plant cells a more uniform and regular shape and provides support for the plant body.
· The cell wall is completely permeable to water and mineral salts which allows distribution of nutrients throughout the plant.
· The openings in the cell wall are called plasmodesmata which contain strands of cytoplasm that connect adjacent cells. This allows cells to interact with one another, allowing molecules to travel between plant cells.
