While many types of cells contain only one or several Golgi apparatus, it is accurate that plant cells can contain hundreds of them.12

The reason for this high number relates to the specific physiological demands of plant cells. In addition to the standard roles of the Golgi apparatus—such as transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids—plant cells require the Golgi apparatus to process and transport significant amounts of material for the cell wall. Because the construction and maintenance of the cell wall are essential for plant structure and growth, the increased number of Golgi bodies facilitates the high volume of trafficking required to deliver these necessary components to their destination.2
