Detailed explanation-1: -Plant cells are surrounded by a cell membrane and outside this is a fairly rigid cell wall. The cell wall gives the plant cell a more definite shape than an animal cell. Animal cells do not have a cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plant cells and animal cells differ from each other concerning some organelles. Cell walls are the rigid outer covering layer of the plant cell. It is made up of cellulose and polysaccharides that makes it tough and gives rigidity to plant cells. This is the reason that plant cells remain more rigid than animal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic cells, so they have several features in common, such as the presence of a cell membrane, and cell organelles, like the nucleus, mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plant cells have a cell wall, a large central vacuole, and plastids such as chloroplasts. The cell wall is a rigid layer that is found outside the cell membrane and surrounds the cell, providing structural support and protection.

Detailed explanation-5: -The plant cells consist of two cell walls. The cell wall present outside the cells is called the primary cell wall and is very flexible. Outer to the primary cell wall is the secondary cell wall which is very rigid. It is the main reason that makes plant cells rigid as compared to animal cells.
