E) All of these statements are true.

Cell Plate

A structure that forms in plant cells during cytokinesis, dividing the cell into two separate cells.

Cell Wall

The cell wall is a rigid layer that lies outside the plasma membrane of the cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria, providing strength and protection against mechanical stress and osmotic pressure.

Plasma Membrane
