The functions of nucleolus in plant cell are:
- It forms the units of Ribosomes
- It is the store house of RNA
- It produces and stores Ribosomal RNA(rRNA)
To some extent nucleolus is a spherical body within a nucleus. It contains primarily RNA and protein. There may be more than one nucleolus per nucleus.
Animal cells and plant cells are eukaryotic and they have a well-defined nucleus and nucleolus. However, plant cells and animal cells do not look exactly the same or have all of the same organelles because of their different need.
