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.
