A rosette complex is a specialized cellular structure involved in the synthesis of cellulose, the primary component of plant cell walls. It is composed of multiple cellulose synthase enzymes arranged in a hexagonal pattern, facilitating the polymerization of glucose molecules into cellulose microfibrils.

Cellulose microfibrils are the fundamental structural components of plant cell walls, providing rigidity and strength. They are composed of long chains of glucose molecules linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, forming a crystalline structure that is resistant to degradation and essential for maintaining plant shape and stability.
