Answer is gap junctions. 

Gap junctions allow for the passage of material between cells, thus facilitating communication between these cells. 

Cells can also communicate with each other via direct contact, referred to as intercellular junctions. There are some differences in the ways that plant and animal cells do this. Plasmodesmata are junctions between plant cells, whereas animal cell contacts include tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes.
