Centrioles are responsible for the formation of the spindle which is made of microtubules. These structures constrict around the outside of the cell causing the cell to cleave in two. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall that could not be cleaved by these organelles. The cell wall grows in between the two new daughter cells, separating them from each other. This is why plant cells do not need centrioles, as they would not help the cell to divide anyway.
