The job of mitochondria is to perform convert glucose into energy through cellular respiration (aerobic respiration) using water and oxygen. The cell can then use the energy created or the mitochondrion can store the energy in the bonds of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) that the mitochondrion has created.

What is the purpose of the mitochondrias of the plant cell?

Mitochondria derive energy for all cells, plant or animal, in which they reside. They are the aerobic energy-derivers of eukaryotic cells. Plants require energy for multitudinous cellular processes just like animals and that is what the mitochondria are for.
