It contains salts, and important materials for the metabolism of the plant. (cell sap) It also controls turgor pressure on the cell wall by pushing outwards against it and makes it firm.

The main function of the central vacuole in plant cells is to store water, nutrients, and waste products. It also helps maintain turgor pressure to support the plant's structure and plays a role in regulating cell size and pH balance.
The largest organelle in plant cells containing the cell sap is the central vacuole. This organelle plays a key role in storing nutrients, regulating turgor pressure, and maintaining cell structure in plant cells.
A plant cell has a larger vacuole than animal cell. The plant cell needs to store more water for photosyheteis and to keep the rigidy of the cell wall. That's why plants wilt when they don't get enough water.
The vacuole in a plant cell plays several critical roles. It helps maintain the cell's structure and provides internal support, stores nutrients, waste products, and pigments, and regulates the cell's internal environment by controlling water content and osmotic pressure. Additionally, vacuoles can also facilitate intracellular digestion and play a role in plant growth and development.
The vacuole is responsible for storing water and dissolved materials in plant cells. It helps to maintain turgor pressure to keep the cell rigid and provide support for the plant. The vacuole also plays a role in storing waste products and maintaining the pH balance within the cell.
