The cytoplasm is the cytosol and all the organelles (minus the nucleus) in the cell. Its main function is suspension of the organelles, their nutrients, and products. The cytoplasm function in a plant cell is almost similar to the cytoplasm function in an animal cell.
Lesson Summary. Cytoplasm is the fluid that fills cells and serves several important functions. Cytoplasm holds the internal components of cells in place and protects them from damage.Cytoplasm stores molecules used for cellular processes, as well as hosts many of these processes within the cell itself.he cytoplasm fluid is thicker than water, and you could think of it as similar to jam, which has lots of fruit pieces suspended in it. Because the cytoplasm holds the internal components in place, it also serves as a protective buffer.
