Biology - Plant cell wall

Plant cell wall

The cell wall is a fibrous layer that covers the surface of plant cells.
The fibres in the cell wall are made out of a compound called cellulose.

The cell wall is very strong. It supports and maintains the shape of the
cells. The cell wall makes plant tissue stronger.
