Concept: The middle lamella is a membrane that works between the primary walls of adjacent plant cells.
Middle lamella is known as a membrane. It consists of pectin which acts as a glue.  It is the first layer formed which is deposited during cytokinesis. The cell plate shaping itself during cell division forms into middle lamella.  The role of the middle lamella is adherence to adjacent cells.  It contains pectates of calcium and magnesium and forms the outermost layer of the cell wall in a mature plant cell.
Hence, the correct answer is membrane.
