Answer:due to the presence of plant cell walls

Explanation:cell division is needed for Living organisms to grow and reproduce.it is a continuous process involving stages.

Cytokinesis occurs after telophase and in this stage,the cytoplasm divides to form two new cells.

In animal cells ,cell membrane readily divides.

In plant cells,the cell wall is rigid and inflexible due to cellulose .as a result, pinching off of the cytoplasm Is not enough .

A new plant cell wall is formed across the middle of the cell.the phragmoplasts formed during telophase stretches sideways and joins the mother cell wall on both sides to form the cell plate.
