Because a plant need lot of water. So the vacuoles store large amount of water.
So the vacuoles of plant cell are in larger size.
So the vacuoles of plant cell are in larger size.

Plant and animal cells share many similarities, but there are big differences that make them easily identifiable under a microscope to the trained eye. Animal cells don`t have a dividing cell wall like plant cells do, but both do have plasma membranes. Plants cells use photosynthesis from the sun, which requires them to have chloroplast filled with chlorophyll to complete this function; animal cells do not have chloroplasts. Chlorophyll also helps make plants green.
Animal cells take on a round shape while plant cells form rectangular shapes. Animal cells contain centrioles, long tubular structures that aid in cell mitosis, or cell division, not found in plant cells. Plant cells don`t move about like animal cells can and plants have large vacuoles in the center of the cell that encompasses up to 90 percent of the cell`s internal size. Animal cells have multiple small vacuoles that provides storage to the animal cell.
Vacuoles
Vacuoles in animal cells perform different functions from those found in plant cells; they store ions, water and waste. Plant vacuoles store water and the pressure caused helps establish the rigidity of the cell. Animal plant cells don`t have this rigidity and can adopt different shapes. One type of animal cell, the phagocytic cell, also has the ability to absorb other structures. This is not found in plant cells.
The human animal contains up to 210 different cell types once the body has reached adulthood, but plants have far less cell diversity. Characterized by three different types of cells—parenchyma cells, schlerenchyma cells and collenchyma cells—plants cells are defined by what the cell does. Schlerenchyma cells provide mechanical support to the plant, collenchyma cells only have a primary wall and are available during the cell`s maturity. while parenchyma cells provide support for photosynthesis, storage and other functions.
