The central vacuole regulates the "tugor pressure" within the cell of the plant; this is responsible (together with the cell wall) for maintaining the shape and structure of many plants (mainly herbaceous).

If the vacuole were removed, punctured or absent there would be no rigidity to the cell.

The central vacuole is also assists with osmosis and homeostasis within the cell, damage to the vacuole will result in the cell dying.

What cell has vacuoles?

Plant cells have vacuoles, which are membrane-bound organelles responsible for storage of water, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles in plant cells help maintain the cell's turgor pressure and play a role in maintaining cell structure and regulating cell growth.
