a circular/ cylindrical shape offers the most structural integrity for a plant stem as it is able to flex in any direction without one side of the plant being weaker or stronger than the other; this means that it could absorb the force of wind from any direction.
the circular shape also offers benefits with regards to secondary (lateral) thickening of the stem as opposed to say a square or rectangular shape.
there are certain plants that do not have circular or round stems (e.g. Neodypsis - the Triangle Palm - where the stem is triangular in shape), although modifications like these are few and far between they are normally adaptations to specific environmental conditions rather than an evolutionary change to a new stem shape.

What shape are animal cells?
Wobbly Circle Since an animal cell doesn't have a cell wall, the shape is not definite like a somewhat rectangular plant cell. It's generally a lopsided circular shape. Like an octagon. sorta
Why is ringworm circular in shape?
Ringworm is circular in shape because the fungus that causes it grows outward in a circular pattern on the skin, creating a ring-like appearance.
Is ringworm always circular in shape?
No, ringworm is not always circular in shape. It can appear as a red, scaly patch on the skin that may be round or irregular in shape.
Does ringworm always have to appear in a circular shape?
No, ringworm does not always have to appear in a circular shape. It can present in various shapes and sizes on the skin.
What is the difference in shape between plant cells and animalcell?
Plant cells typically have a rectangular shape with a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, while animal cells are more irregular in shape and lack a cell wall. Plant cells also have large central vacuoles, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and plasmodesmata for communication, which are generally absent in animal cells.

Why do round objects bounce more than the object of any other shape?
The reason that is taken into consideration is that the round objects have a shape which will exactly oppose the gravitational force due to the reason that the contact area in the circular shape is at a single point. ANY SUGESSIONS AND IMPROVEMENT FOR THE ANSWER IS ACCEPTED.
How can you identify which cell is the plant and which cell is an animal cell?
An animal cell has a cell wall around the cell membrane and is a rectangular shape, where as an animal cell does not have a cell wall and is a circular shape. Also a plant cell has chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis.
Describe the shape of animal cells?
It has more to do with the rigid cell wall in a plant cell allows it to keep shape whereas animal cells can change shape freely. In theory, plant cells are like building blocks that make up the molecular system of a plant, so the inside of a plant is very organized. But, in an animal, the animal is alive and unpredictable, so the cells are very messy and sloppy. In fact, animal cells don't even always have a circular shape, they can be oval or not even make sense at all.
