Detailed explanation-1: -The largest organelle is the nucleus. The eukaryotic cells have a nucleus and the genetic material is stored in the nucleus. The nucleus controls all cellular functions and it is referred to be the “Control center of the cell”.

Detailed explanation-2: -Known as the cell’s “command center, ” the nucleus is a large organelle that stores the cell’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). The nucleus controls all of the cell’s activities, such as growth and metabolism, using the DNA’s genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Note: The largest cell organelle, in general, is considered to be the nucleus. Though in plant cells, the vacuole takes up about 80-90% of the volume, thus being the largest cell organelle in a plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Nucleus is the largest and distinct double-membrane cell organelle which contains the genetic material in the form of DNA. The nucleus was discovered by Robert Brown in 1931 in orchid cells. Nucleus is also known as the Brain of the cell as it controls all the metabolism of the cell.
