Why is the cytoskeleton important to eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

It depends on the organism...

A cytoskeleton is a complex network of tubules and interlinking filaments that run throughout the cytoplasm and are found in every type of cell in every domain of life, including bacteria, eukaryotes, and archaea.

The primary role of the cytoskeleton is to give cells their shape and mechanical resistance against deformation. It also stabilizes entire tissues by joining forces with other cells and extracellular connective tissue.
