A vacuole takes up most of the space inside a plant cell. It is a membranous sac that crowds the cytoplasm and organelles to an edge of the cell. It stores water, salts, sugars, proteins, and may also contain pigments that give flowers their colors. It also contains plant wastes that taste bitter to certain insects, discouraging some insects from eating the plant.

That doesn't answer the question. What is the structure? Not function.
A large central vauole is prominent in many plant cells. It is a large membrane bound vesicle, which functions in storage. It usually contains an aqueous solution of ions like K+ and Cl- and is in the center of a plant cell.
The central vacuole is one organelle that can be found in plants. It is the largest cellular organelle inside a plant, and it contains the materials and wastes while being encased in a membrane.
The organelle that stores water and other materials.
The central vacuole is a boxlike structure and stores food, water, and waste. Te organelle also provides support for the cell when full.

Membrane-bound compartments
In plants, the vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes, and absorbs the waste products in the cell. In animal cells, smaller vacuoles are used to transport lipids and proteins out of the cell.
Functions and significance of vacuole varies according to the type of cells in which they are present. Vacuoles have greater prominence in the cells of plants and fungi than those of animals and bacteria. The functions of vacuole in general: 1) it isolates material which are harmful to the cell. 2) Maintains internal acidic Ph. 3) Exports unwanted substances from the cell. 4) Maintains internal hydrostatic pressure with in the cell. 5) It allows to support structures such as flowers due to the pressure of the central vacuole.
OsmosisIt eliminates excess water from the cytoplasm of freshwater protists.
Vacuoles are membrane bounded sacs present in the cytoplasm of the cell. The function of a vacuole is to provide structural support in mature plants , as well as providing storage of food temporarily. A vacuole also serves functions of waste disposal, protection, cell growth etc.
Living in fresh water, a hypotonic environment, causes water to enter the cell of certain protists (protozoa ) and would lysis the cell unless there were a way to expel this water. This is what contractile vacuoles do. When the fill with enough water microfilament contraction expels the excess water from the vacuole and helps the cell maintain internal isotonicity.
The central vacuole stores water for the plant.

the (central) vacuole.
In plant cells, it's known as the vacuole, or central vacuole. :)
The central vacuole increases in size and makes the cell turgid
The central vacuole stores water for the plant.
The vacuole, or in plants, the central vacuole.:)
The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It gives support to soft structures, such as leaves. When there is an adequate supply of water, the solutes in the vacuole attract water into the vacuole by osmosis.

central vacuole
The central vacuole stores water and ions. The central vacuole also stores pigments, metabolic waste, inorganic ions, and organic molecules.
The vacuole occupies most of a typical plant cell's volume. It is basically a pocket filled with water containing molecules.
