Water moves out of the carrot's cells and into the salt water due the difference in concentration of NaCl. This might account for the spongy-ness of the carrot

There is a higher concentration of water inside the carrot cells than in the salt water, therefore the water would diffuse out of the carrot, causing it to shrink in size.

What is the advantage of the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged instead of being closed?
in between the spongy mesophyll cells, there are air spaces. this allows faster diffusion of CO2 into the leaf. the thin film of moisture on the spongy mesophyll evaporates in the air spaces in the process of transpiration, thus helped in transpiration pull. without the spongy mesophyll being loosely arranged, there would not be air spaces.
