Centrioles are very important in the cell division process..........Centrioles form spindle fibers to separate chromosomes during cell division
Although higher level plants do not...

Plant cells do not have centrioles but they have MTOCs(Microtubule Organizing Centres) scattered in their cytosol which serves the same purpose during cell division....
As to why they don't have centrioles...it may be due to deviation of ancestry very long ago and both type of cells have evolved independently...can't really find an explanation to that

The DNA doesnt need to be pulled apart in dividing plant cells, which is why there is no reason for centrioles.

they have a cell wall providing form and structure so not as many microfiliments are needed as you find within an animal cell
