Best Answer

All cells have cytoplasm. It is there to protect cell organelles and provide emergency water and nutrients. They may have more cytoplasm because they lack the hard structural cell membrane that plant cells have and they need the extra protection. They may also have it so they are flexible because animals are constantly on the move and need to be able to stretch and bend.
