What are the vacuoles found in many mature plant cells that hold organic compounds and water?

Central Vacuoles

The vacuoles in mature plant cells that hold organic compounds and water are called central vacuoles.

These central vacuoles serve as storage units and water reservoirs, playing a significant role in cell growth as sites of macromolecule degradation. They also aid in cell growth by enabling the cell to become larger as they store more water.
