The cell wall is found in plant cells, but not in animal cells. This is the outermost layer in the plant cell. It is stiff, rigid, nonliving, and made of cellulose. It provides support so that the plant can grow tall and protection. Some materials like water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide can pass through it.
The photograph of Elodea has the pointer directed at
