Answer: protect the cell from its surroundings.

Explanation: Composed of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins, the plasma membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and regulates the movement of substances in and out of cells.

This is the mere definition. Hope this helps.
