Why wouldn't all plant cells look the same?

Answer 1

They are function specific.

As our body is divided into different tissues, eg - our muscular cells differ from our skin cells (epithelium), they are not similar in structure.

In plants, (let`s concentrate on the stem) it contains various tissues like the vascular bundles (xylem, phloem) which help in the conduction of materials like minerals, starch etc throughout the plant differ from its neighboring peripheral tissue cells i.e., Collenchyma helps in holding the structure of the stem.

That is why plant cells differ in the structure according to their location and function.

Plant cells vary greatly in appearance depending on where they are located and what role they play in the plant; specialized cells, like guard cells, tracheids, and parenchyma cells, have specific shapes and functions to carry out specific tasks within the plant; and organelle composition, like chloroplasts in photosynthetic cells and amyloplasts in storage cells, can vary amongst plant cells.
