Answer:

Vacuoles

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Vacuoles are organelles that temporarily store water, waste products, food and other cellular materials. They are referred to as the storage tank for the cell.
  • These organelles are enclosed structures that are filled by fluid and separated from the cytoplasm by a single membrane.
  • Vacuoles are mostly found in plant cells and fungi. However, they can be found in some bacterial, protists and animal cells
