Answer:

Plant cells need chloroplast as they are the site for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The chloroplast is the green-colored double membrane-bound organelles present mostly in cells of leaves of green plants. Chloroplasts have chlorophyll pigments which serve to trap the sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Both light-dependent and light-independent phases of photosynthesis take place in chloroplast to form organic sugars.

Hence, chloroplasts serve as a site for photosynthesis in plants.
