Answer: Cytoskeleton and cytoplasm

The cytoskeleton is a network of microfilaments that provide structure and support for the cell. You can think of them as the pillars/columns that hold up a house.

The cytoplasm is the aqueous fluid that fills the inside of the cell. This fluid is very important for giving a cell is shape/support. If the cytoplasm was drained out of a cell its shape would collapse like a water balloon losing its water.
