If the solution inside the amoeba is more concentrated than the outside, the water will diffuse into the cell through osmosis and eventually cause it to burst when there is way too much. The contractile vacuole prevents it from bursting by pumping water back out.
Contractile vacuoles in protists collect water and then expel it when they become full.
Contractile vacuoles are commonly found in freshwater protists, such as amoebas and paramecia. These organisms live in hypotonic environments and use contractile vacuoles to regulate their water balance by expelling excess water to prevent bursting.
Contractile vacuoles are primarily found in single-celled organisms, such as protists, that live in freshwater environments. They help regulate the water content of the cell by pumping out excess water to prevent it from bursting. Neither animal nor plant cells typically possess contractile vacuoles.
The contractile vacuole helps it to get rid off the excess water from the cell.
Contractile vacuoles control the water balance in protists by actively pumping out excess water to prevent them from bursting due to osmotic pressure. These vacuoles accumulate water through specialized channels and release it to the outside through an opening in the cell membrane.

The organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force it out are called contractile vacuoles. It is primarily involved in osmoregulation and is usually found in protists and unicellular algae.
That's correct, marine protozoa do not have contractile vacuoles. Contractile vacuoles are typically found in freshwater protozoa and serve to regulate water balance by expelling excess water from the cell. Marine protozoa have adaptations to maintain water balance in a high-salt environment without the need for contractile vacuoles.
