Plasmodesmata are open channels in a cell wall of a plant cell through which strands of cytosol connect from an adjacent cell.
in layman's terms, its a gateway between two adjacent plant cells through their cell wall which allows the cells to communicate with each other through chemical signals as well as support one another with nutrients or supplies that a cell would need.
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
The passage between two cells. Water and nutrient passages, generally.
a plasmodesmata is usually brown and button shaped
Plasmodesmata are intercellular organelles found in plants. Their function is that of a highway for local and long-distance signalling. In higher plants, this pathway involves the movement of proteins such as RNA.

Plasmodesmata are not easily visible in Elodea because the plant cells are tightly packed and have high chloroplast content, which can obstruct the view. In persimmon, the plasmodesmata may be more prominent due to differences in cell arrangement and structure. Special staining techniques or higher magnification may be needed to see plasmodesmata in Elodea.
Plasmodesmata are channels that connect the cytoplasm of neighboring plant cells, allowing for the exchange of water, nutrients, and signaling molecules. They play a crucial role in communication and transport between cells, facilitating coordination in growth and development throughout the plant.

Plasmodesmata are holes in the cell wall of plants and algae that allow the cellular transfer of of proteins and macromolecules in and out of the cell. The cell wall does not have gap junctions or intermembrane proteins like the cell membrane does, so the cell needed another way to allow passage into and out of the cell, which is where plasmodesmata developed.
