plasmolysis
Shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis occurs when water moves out of the cytoplasm due to a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell. This causes the cytoplasm to lose water and shrink, ultimately leading to cell dehydration and potential damage.
The shrinking of cytoplasm by osmosis is called plasmolysis. This occurs when a plant cell loses water due to a hypertonic environment, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall.

osmosis
A hypertonic solution outside the cell is drawing out the water osmotically through the membrane. Solute/solvent where one is highly concentrated, solute, you will find water, the cell's solvent with the solute. Solute " sops " up free water molecules, so to speak.
It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.
plasmolysis
The shrinking of a cell due to loss of water is called plasmolysis. This occurs when water leaves the cell due to a hypertonic environment outside the cell, causing the cell membrane to detach from the cell wall and the cell to shrink.
Osmosis is accounted for the shrinking of green mangoes when pickled in brine solution.
Osmosis helps maintain the cytoplasm by regulating the balance of water and solutes inside the cell. It allows for the movement of water across the cell membrane to equalize the concentration of solutes inside and outside of the cell, helping to maintain proper cellular function and structure.
