For plants, it's (usually) a rigid cell wall. For animals, it's (usually) a more flexible cell membrane. The rest of the shape is up to the function of the cell, what its surrounding area is shaped like, what organelles it has, how it moves, etc.
The cell membrane helps maintain the cell's shape and acts as a barrier to control what enters and exits the cell.
The outer covering of plant cells is called the cell wall, which provides structural support and protection for the cell. It is composed of cellulose and other materials that help maintain the shape of the cell and regulate what enters and exits the cell. The cell wall is rigid and does not allow for changes in cell shape like animal cells' flexible cell membranes do.

cytoskeleton
The cell wall gives the cell its shape and provides protection, and is not found in animal cells. It is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria, providing structure and support to the cell.
It is the cell wall which gives the cell a definite shape
The cell wall protects and gives shape to a plant cell.
Gives the cell nutrients and gives it shape
gives the cell shape
gives the cell shape
Gives the cell nutrients and gives it shape
cell membrane The cells and organs surrounding it give the animal cell its shape. The membrane is totally flexible and confers no shape to the cell.
proctects the cell and gives the cell its shape.
the cell membrane gives the cell its shape.
Changes in the organization of its cytoskeleton allow a cell to change shape.
