  • One of the primary functions of a contractile vacuole is to absorb <u><em>excess water</em></u> from the protoplasm in the unicellular organism and release this water to the surrounding environment.

  • A contractile vacuole can be called the excretory organ of unicellular organisms. This is because it is involved in <u><em>osmoregulation.</em></u>
