No, the cells in a plant structure are much stronger than ordinary animal cells. The cells in the plant are in lines that go upwards, ie the stem, the combination of the strong cells and then being in lines upward keep the plant standing. The cells are also what causes the plant to follow light. Try it.
Get a plant and put a lamp on one side of it, leave it for 1 hour, then move the lamp to the complete opposite side and leave for 1 hour, you will notice that the plant tilts towards the light and this movement is caused by the cell which keep the plant upright!

to allow the plant to stand upright
Why plant cells have an additional protective covering called cell wall?
Plant cell need a thick protective coating because they can not move away from danger. This means that they need an extra line of defense.
What it the loss of shape caused by a shortage of water in plants?
I think its just called plant dehydration because by the plant getting no water, it isn't able to preform osmosis, making the plants' cells shrink. The thing that keeps the plant upright is the cells absorbing water and swelling forcing the plant to stand. without water, the cells shrink and the plant loses its shape and starts to lean to the side.
Explain why the movement of water through plants is important to them?
Because all plant cells need water to function, water is needed to carry nutrients and glucose around the plant, turgor pressure keeps green stems and leaves upright and water is necessary for the photosynthesis reaction to take place.
Does a plant cell hava a cell wall.?
Yes. The cell wall is firm so it holds the plant upright.
What is the relationship between plant cell structure and the ability of plants to stand upright?
cell wall and turgor pressure
Why does the balsam plant have a soft stem?
The balsam plant has a soft stem because the stem is filled with water. The water in the stem keeps the plant upright. When there is little water in the plant the stem bends towards the ground.
How do vacuoles in a plant cells help keep the plant upright?
Vacuoles maintain the cell turgidity to keep the plants upright.
Which part of a plant helps keep the plant in a upright position?
Roots
What is the purpose for the stem of a plant?
To keep it upright.
What part of plant hold it upright?

A plant that has a very stiff stem which persists upright after the plant dies is referred to as a plant?

What is the appearance of a plant cell when water is plentiful?
When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.When water is plentiful, the cell expands so that the plant stands upright. Without water, the cell shrinks, so the plant wilts.
Which part of a plant helps keep the plant in upright position?
Roots
What are the functions of root stems and leaves of a plant?
**The purpose of a plants roots are to extract water and minerals from the ground. The leaves absorb sunlight and CO2 so that they can make their own food using photosynthesis. The stem contains and stores most of the water for when the plant needs energy and keeps the plant upright.
Why is the thin upright shoot of a moss plant not considered to be a true stem?
