Hi student
The fluid-mosaic model describes the plasma membrane of animal cells.
The demerit may be explained as--fluid- it moves around and is not staying in one place (not solid) mosaic- made of many different kinds of macromolecules and is not the same all around.
The fluid mosaic model is significant because it creates a semi-permeable cell cover. It allows certain molecules to enter and exit while discriminating against other molecules.

No there is no disadvantage as such..
But as explained according to this model, everything has been explained considering everything static which is not possible as there is cytoplamic movements as well. Still this model best explain everything.
