actually to be more specific i believe it is the cellulose that allows the plant to keep its structure. It is the tough bundled fiber that is very strong. Similarly the vacuoles are used to keep the plant erect. the vacuoles store water within the plant and pushes against the plant walls, when the vacuoles are not full enough the plant will become flaccid thus vacuoles are responsible for the structural integrity of the plant.

It gives a structure and protects the inner cells from the external environment.
seaweed grows underwater which gives it that slimy covering and plants grow on land so it doesn't get wet that often to get the coating.
Glucose molecules form cellulose, which gives plants structure. Multiple glucose molecules join together through dehydration synthesis to form long chains of cellulose. These chains then arrange themselves into microfibrils that provide strength and rigidity to plant cell walls.
