Yes, in general plant vacuoles are much bigger from those found in animal cells, this is their central vacuole. Plant vacuoles play large part in maintaining turgor pressure in the cell, which is how plants stay upright since herbaceous plants generally lack dedicated supportive tissue like bone. If their is not enough water available, or the cell is exposed to a hypertonic environment, the vacuole contracts and the plant will wilt.

Why do plant cells have rigid cell walls while animal cells don't?

Plant cells have rigid cell walls made of cellulose to provide support and structure to the plant. Animal cells, on the other hand, do not need rigid cell walls because their shape and structure are maintained by their cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix. Additionally, animal cells need more flexibility for movement and other cellular functions which would be restricted by a rigid cell wall.

Why do plant cells have bigger valcules than animal cell?

Plant cells have bigger vacuoles filled with cell sap. When you water a plant, the water collects in the vacuole and makes it stiff. This is why plants wilt if they don't get enough water.
