The plasma membrane acts as a mechanical barrier to the protoplasm which regulates transport of materials into and out of cell maintaining the identity of the cell. In case of rupturing of the plasma membrane, the protoplasmic contents will get dispersed in the surrounding medium and thus cell will disintegrate.
