Largely, of cellulose! Cellulose is so tough, it is indigestible to most organisms, which is why vegetables and fruits are recommended to keep one "regular".

Why do plant cells have rigid cells while animal cells don't have?
Presence of cell wall in plant cells make them rigid; animal cells are not rigid because these are without cell wall.
What accounts for an animal cell's less rigid shape compared to plant cells?
i think the answer shpuld be round to circle
Which Possess rigid walls that cannot be pinched in two plant or animal cells?
plant cells
What is the name of the rigid box around plant cells?
The rigid outter covering of plant cells is called the cell wall
What does osmosis do to plant and animal cells in pure water?
Plant cells have a strong rigid cell wall on the outside of the cell membrane. This stops the cell bursting when it absorbs water by osmosis. The increase in pressure makes the cell rigid. This is useful as plants do not have a skeleton. Instead the leaves and shoots can be supported by the pressure of water in their cells. If plant cells lose too much water by osmosis they become less rigid and eventually the cell membrane shrinks away from the cell wall.
Why are plant cells rigid?
