A vacuole is used for temporary storage of water, waste products, food, and cellular material. Plants take in large amounts of water and need a place to store the water. Vacuoles are larger in plant cells than animal cells to store the water and other materials needed by the cell.
The central vacuole is a cellular organelle found in plant cells. It is often the largest organelle in the cell. It is surrounded by a membrane and functions to hold materials and wastes. It also functions to maintain the proper pressure within the plant cells to provide structure and support for the growing plant.//////
