The cell wall in plants is a rigid, protective layer surrounding the plasma membrane, primarily composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin. It provides structural support, maintaining the shape of plant cells and enabling plants to withstand turgor pressure generated by water within the cell.
