How are the structures that are unique to plants important to their success?

I need to know soon.
I already have three structures that are unique to plants:
Cell wall, Chloroplast, and Vacuole.
But I need to know if there are more and why they are important to the success of the plants.
Thank you.

xylem, phloem
Cell wall- Provides support for their structure and protection
Chlorplasts- allows them to engage in photosynthesis and be green
Vacuole- stores water, lipids, carbs, salt, etc untill it needs to use them.
I am about 90% sure there isn’t any more.
Cell Wall - gives support to the plant - allows plants to be tall without a skeleton.
Chloroplasts - allow the plant to make its own food through photosynthesis from the sun
Vacuole - allows the plant to store water - also gives plants some support. THis is why plants that need watering wilt - the vacuoles are empty and slack. You water the plant and they fill up - making the vacuoles and plant turgid.
Other non-cellular level items that make plants unique: Roots, stems and leaves.
