How are daughter cells separated in plant cells?

Daughter cells in plant cells are separated by a cell plate, which is formed during the later stages of cell division, specifically during cytokinesis. In plants, instead of forming a cleavage furrow, which occurs in animal cells, vesicles containing cell wall materials gather at the center of the dividing cell. These vesicles fuse to create the cell plate. As more vesicles join in, the cell plate expands outward until it merges with the existing cell wall, effectively dividing the parent cell into two distinct daughter cells. This process is essential because it provides structural support and integrity for the new cells, allowing them to maintain their rigid shape and withstand the internal pressures common in plant cells.
