All cells need to be able to let food, water and unneeded waste to get in and out of the cells, that's where the cell membrane comes in; it acts like a filter letting things in and out. In the animal cell it also has the job of protecting and keeping the cell in place, but in a plant cell the cell wall is given that job.
