∙ 14y agoThe plasma membrane is also known as the cell surface membrane because it occurs at the surface of the cell ie it encloses the cytoplasm and separates it from the surroundings of the cell.
In a plant cell the plasma membrane is between the cytoplasm and the cell wall, and is usually pressed up against the wall.
