Both the cell wall and the cell membrane are semi permeable, which means that they choose what can enter and leave the cell. Molecules like water and other useful things to the cell enter it, and things such as waste leave the cell through the membrane and wall.

Remember that only plant cells have cell walls. Animal cells only have a cell membrane. But both the wall and membrane have the same purpose.
