All living things are composed of cells. They are the building blocks of all life. Cells come in many different shapes and have different functions. Plant and animal cells are different, too. The main difference between plant and animal cells is that plant cells have a cell wall on the outer layer, whereas animal cells only have a cell membrane. The cell wall is a protective layer outside the cell membrane that also provides support for the cell's structure.
Function of a Cell Wall
The cell wall gives the plant its actual shape. It acts as a gatekeeper, because it determines what can come in and out of the cell in order to keep the cell protected. It is kind of like the outside bricks of a castle, only, as you will learn as you read on, there are holes throughout this castle. Those holes do make the cell vulnerable, but they are important to the function of the cell.
A plant cell has a cell wall, whereas an animal cell only has a cell membrane.
A redwood tree and a dandelion both have cell walls on the outside of all of their cells. The cell walls are there to give the plants their shape and support; however, the cell walls act and are constructed a little different to meet the needs of the particular plant. For instance, a 100-foot redwood tree needs a very strong and rigid plant cell wall so that it can grow to its great height and not fall over in the wind. On the other hand, a little yellow dandelion out in the field needs to have more plasticity so that it can bend, not break, as the wind blows through the field.
A dandelion needs to have plasticity to be able to bend in the wind.

HEYA!!
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER,
FIRSTLY,
→ WHAT IS CELL WALL?
ANS : The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds some types of cells. It is located outside the cell membrane whose main function is to provide rigidity, strength, protection against mechanical stress and infection.It also provides the cell with limited plasticity that prevents the cell from rupturing due to the turgor pressure.
→ WHAT ARE THE SIGNIFICANT FUNCTIONS OF "CELL WALL"?
⇒ It gives the cell a definite shape and structure.
⇒ Provides structural support.
⇒ Protection against infection and mechanical stress.
⇒ Separates interior of the cell from the outer environment.
⇒ It enables transport of substances and information from the cell insides to the exterior and vice versa.
⇒ Prevents water loss.
⇒ It prevents the cell from rupturing due to turgor pressure, etc.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU,
THANK YOU.
