It breaks down worn out organelles, because the cytoplasm cannot break down, for example, worn out mitochondria. It is also known as the "suicide sack" because it can release the acids within it if the cell is malfunctioning. It actually causes the cell to explode!
The organelle in animal cells that contain hydrolytic enzymes are lysosomes.

Lysosome
They are sent out of the cells via lysosomes.
Think of a cell as a factory. The nucleus is the "boss", and lysosomes are like the "clean-up" crew after all the work has been done. they go around in the cell breaking down wastes; getting rid of it.
they digest it

The main function of the lysosome in a cell is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris, as well as to digest and recycle old or damaged organelles and molecules.
The lysosome is an organelle in a cell that functions as the "garbage disposal" by breaking down and recycling cellular waste and debris.
lysosomes produce powerful enzymes which digest proteins
The function of a lysosome in cellular processes is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris, as well as to digest and recycle old or damaged organelles and molecules within the cell.
The main function of a lysosome in cellular processes is to break down and recycle cellular waste and debris, as well as to digest and destroy foreign invaders such as bacteria or viruses.
Waste Management
plant cells do not have lysosomes but they do have a central vacuole that does a similar function of breaking down materials with enzymes
The lysosome is an organelle in cells that breaks down and recycles waste materials, old cell parts, and foreign substances. Its function is to maintain cellular cleanliness and regulate various cellular processes.
