===Meaning===
A '''specialised plant cell''' is a [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] that has a special shape or special features to do a certain job in the [[plant]].
===About Specialised Plant Cells===
: All [[plant]]s have '''specialised cells'''.
: '''Specialised cells''' make a [[plant]] more efficient than if every [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] was the same.
: '''Specialised cells''' have specific [[adaptation]]s that make them good at their function.
: [[Cell (Biology)|Cells]] can be '''specialised''' by having more [[mitochondria]] or [[chloroplast]]s than usual. They may have an elongated shape or an extra large [[Permanent Vacuole|vacuole]].
These are some '''specialised cells''' in [[plant]]s that you should know:
*[[Palisade Cell]]
*[[Spongy Mesophyll Cell]]
*[[Guard Cell]]
*[[Xylem Cell]]
*[[Root Hair Cell]]
