Why are there fewer types of plant cells than animal cells?

Answer 1

I assume because of the wider diversity of animals than plants. Mammals, Birds, Reptiles, Amphibians, Fish, Insects, Flowering Plants, Trees and Fungi are the main ones of animals and plants (but fungi are not technically plants, they are separate organisms e.g do not have leaves).

Answer 2

Plants have fewer cell types than animals because most plant cells are totipotent, meaning they have the ability to differentiate into various cell types depending on the signals they receive. This versatility allows plant cells to take on different functions without needing specialized cell types. In contrast, animal cells are more specialized, leading to a greater variety of cell types.
