The main function of the central vacuole is to maintain turgor pressure in the cell. Turgor pressure is the pressure of the cell’s contents pushing against the cell wall; it is only found in cells that have cell walls, such as those of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Turgor pressure changes in a cell due to osmosis, which is the diffusion of water into or out of the cell.

also waste removal and storage.. besides maintaining the turgor pressure

Heya!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the answer to your question......
The main function of the large central vacuole in plant cells is to provide structural support; however, it serves other functions such as protection, storage, growth and waste disposal. This large central vacuole typically occupies at least 80 percent of the space in the cell unlike the vacuoles of animal cells which are smaller in size and commonly used to transport substances or temporarily storing materials.A membrane known as the tonoplast is used to enclose this large central vacuole. As the cell matures, this large central vacuole gradually develops as a result of fusion of smaller vacuoles that are derived from Golgi apparatus and the endoplasmic reticulum. The central vacuole has a number of roles in plant cells, some of which include storing of salts, nutrients, pigments, minerals, proteins, aiding the growth of the plant and playing a vital structural role for the plant.
