Plants don't move, there is no need for them to. They make their own food by means of photosynthesis. Everything that they need, they can get without moving, so all they need for support is a cell wall. A cell wall is a barrier that gives the plant support, shape, and protection. As for animals and humans, we can't make our food within our body. We have to go get food and eat it to get the necessary proteins and nutrients. So in order to do that, we have to move. We have a skeletal system that allows us to move and bend, something the cell wall can't do. So plants need a cell wall because they don't move, and animals and humans need a skeletal system to be able to move.

Plant cells have a cell wall because it provides rigidity and support to the cell, helping it maintain its shape. The cell wall is primarily composed of cellulose. In contrast, animal cells do not have a cell wall and instead have a flexible cell membrane that allows for greater movement and flexibility.
