Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Plasma cells are differentiated B-lymphocyte white blood cells capable of secreting immunoglobulin or antibodies. These cells play a significant role in the adaptive immune response, namely, being the main cells responsible for humoral immunity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Humoral immunity is also called antibody-mediated immunity. With assistance from helper T cells, B cells will differentiate into plasma B cells that can produce antibodies against a specific antigen. The humoral immune system deals with antigens from pathogens that are freely circulating, or outside the infected cells.
