Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane of plant cells and provides tensile strength and protection against mechanical and osmotic stress. It also allows cells to develop turgor pressure, which is the pressure of the cell contents against the cell wall.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell wall is made up of cellulose. Plant cells require the cell wall for protection against variations in temperature, high wind speed, atmospheric moisture, etc. The cell wall gives rigidity to the cell of a plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The plant cell wall provides definite shape, strength, and rigidity. It also provides protection against mechanical stress and physical shocks. It helps to control cell expansion due to the intake of water. It helps in preventing water loss from the cell.
