In both plant and animal cells, different type cell division takes place. The cell plate is formed when the plant cell divides and in an animal cell, it takes place by the formation of a cell furrow. Plant cell division takes place by the formation of the cell plate at the centre and then it starts to move outward. After moving outward it moves to the lateral walls and then it helps in dividing the cell into two equal halves. In animal cells, the furrow is formed at the periphery of the cell and then it moves inward. And then through this, the cell is divided into two halves.
