I need your guys's help!

I had a science exam a day or two ago, and this was one of the questions:
Identify and name the cell organelle:
M- It allows transportation of materials in and out of plant cell.
Isn't the correct answer supposed to be cell membrane? Even though they mentioned in a plant cell.. Because the cell wall is completely permeable.. so it lets anything pass through.. but the cell membrane decides and allows materials to enter and exit the cell..
The teacher said the correct answer is cell wall though.. I would like to know your thoughts!

I believe that the correct answer would be cell wall. You said that the question referred to the cell organelle within a plant cell, which is why the cell wall is correct. The cell membrane is found in animal cells while the cell wall is found in plant cells.
