Vacuoles are important for _storage_
Explanation:
The vacuole in plant cell are large structures that act like ‘back-packs’ for the cell. They store salts, nutrients like glucose, minerals, and even some proteins and pigments. These materials are then utilized by the cell whenever they are needed. The vacuole also stores waste products from the cell’s cellular activities.
The fact that the vacuole stores all these materials, most of which have osmotic potential, it becomes an ideal organelle to maintain cell's turgor pressure. Water diffuses into the vacuole, via osmosis, because the vacuole is hypertonic to its environment. The vacuole, therefore, ‘swells’, and so does the cell. This causes the cell to be turgid. Turgidity is very significant for support in non-woody plants.
