That is not the reason that they have cell walls but they are easier to see because they do. It is rather like splitting hairs. The first person who described and called cells the name 'cell', looked at cork (a plant). Cellulose forms protective framework for a plant cell to survive. It is a structural carbohydrate used in protection and support. They help a plant keep its shape.
