Here's why:
* Cell Plate Formation: During cytokinesis in plants, a cell plate forms between the two daughter nuclei. This plate is made of cell wall material, primarily cellulose.
* Fusion with Existing Wall: The cell plate grows outward from the center of the cell, eventually fusing with the existing cell wall, effectively dividing the cell into two daughter cells.
* Difference from Animals: This process is different from cytokinesis in animals, where a cleavage furrow forms and pinches off the cell membrane.
