The centrosome, aka, centrioles is only found in an animal cell and is not visible under a light microscope. The function of this organelle is to form the spindle (a stage in cell division) for cell division. (Meitosis/Meiosis). :)

In an animal cell the centrosome's job is to make sure there are the same number of chromosomes in each cell when the cell begins to divide. The centrosome also initiates the process that begins cell division.

I think it helps the cell in mitosis(when the cell separates to form another cell).
