Detailed explanation-1: -In plants, the cell wall is composed mainly of strong fibers of the carbohydrate polymer called cellulose. The cell wall’s primary function is to provide a framework for the cell to prevent overgrowth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellulose is an important structural component of the cell walls of plants and many algae. Human uses of cellulose include the production of cardboard and paper, which consist mostly of cellulose from wood and cotton. The cotton fibers pictured below are about 90 percent cellulose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellulose is the most significant structural component of plant cell wall. Cellulose, polysaccharide containing repeated unbranched (1-4) D-glucose units, is synthesized at the plasma membrane by the cellulose synthase complex (CSC) from bacteria to plants.
