Answer:

Vacuole

Step-by-step explanation:

Vacuoles are single membrane-bound organelles present in both plant and animal cells. The membrane of the vacuole is called tonoplast. The function of vacuoles is to store the excess of electrolytes, nutrients, water, and other waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles also serve the function of lysosomes as they lack lysosomes.

The organelle which is used as temporary storage for water, waste products, food, and other cellular material would be the vacuole. It is an organelle found in cells that is within the cytoplasm of a cell, enclosed by a membrane and typically containing fluid.
