Plasmodesmata are holes in the cell wall of plants and algae that allow the cellular transfer of of proteins and macromolecules in and out of the cell.
The cell wall does not have gap junctions or intermembrane proteins like the cell membrane does, so the cell needed another way to allow passage into and out of the cell, which is where plasmodesmata developed.
a plasmodesmata is usually brown and button shaped
facilitate communication and transport of materials between plant cells, allowing for the passage of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules. Plasmodesmata play a crucial role in coordinating growth and development, as well as in the defense responses of plants.
Plasmodesmata are not easily visible in Elodea because the plant cells are tightly packed and have high chloroplast content, which can obstruct the view. In persimmon, the plasmodesmata may be more prominent due to differences in cell arrangement and structure. Special staining techniques or higher magnification may be needed to see plasmodesmata in Elodea.

They are called: Plasmodesmata
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
Plasmodesmata in fruit facilitate the transport of nutrients and signaling molecules between cells, which is important for fruit development and ripening. The high number of plasmodesmata connecting cells in fruit may be necessary to support the rapid growth and metabolic processes occurring during the fruit's development and maturation. Additionally, the communication provided by plasmodesmata helps coordinate the ripening process and ensure proper fruit maturation.
