What is the function of cemtrosomes during mitosis?

I assume you mean centrosome, not cemtrosome. The centrosome is a microtubule organizing center made up of two centrioles. In mitosis, it creates spindle apparatus microtubules, which are then used to separate the chromosomes into the two daughter cells. It is worth noting that a centrosome is not required to create the spindle.

Produce spindle fibers?

Centrioles. They are visible during metaphase, the second stage of mitosis. Added: Centrosomes. Centrioles are present in animal cells but are, seemingly, not needed to mount a spindle apparatus. Plant cells get along very well without centrioles.

Why does plant cells undergo mitosis inspite of the absence of centriole?

Inspite of the absene of centrioles,the centromere can organise spindle which is an apparatus for mitosisto take place.Thus,the centromere functions in the absence of the centriole.
