Cell walls give rigidity to the cells (provide structural support) and provide turgor pressure which prevents the cell from bursting
Explanation:
The cell walls work like a kind of containment vessel for the cell: when the cell absorbs more water, the cell wall can put pressure on the water, preventing the cell from bursting
The cell wall also help the cells like a hydrostatic skeleton, which ensures that plants keep their shape. This is noticeable in dry times, when plants lose water and you see that the leaves lose their stiffness
