Vacuole is an multifaceted organelle in the plant cell, which has various roles in plant physiology and immunity. Its role is indispensable, right from maintaining tugor pressure to secreting antimicrobial substances outside the cell (HR response).

Vacuole comprises of water containing inorganic and organic molecules including enzymes, bioactive compounds etc, which are primarily produced in the endoplasmic reticulum (RER), transported to vacuole via vesicles, and the vesicles fuse with vacuole to transfer its contents. Repeated fusion of vesicles with the vacuole results in increase in size, and so vacuole occupies a considerable space inside a plant cell.

Why does a plant cell have on large vacuole?

In plant cells, large vacuoles are needed to store water. In animal cells, other things are stored in the vacuoles including food and waste, therefore there are many small vacuoles. The main reason plant's vacuoles are so big is to keep the plant from bursting. Plants can absorb too much water. Without the enlarged vacuole, the plant would burst.
