The cell wall is the outermost, rigid, protective, non-living and supportive layer found in all the plant cells.
Due to its rigid nature, it prevents the cell from bursting. It is not found in animal cells.
An animal cell placed in pure water will swell and burst, because of endosmosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Cells wall is rigid and does not get overstretched'
