By osmosis, water molecules in the vacuoles of the celery move into the salt water. Loss of pressure in the vacuoles causes the cells to collapse and the stalk to wilt.
Concentrated water in the celery cells passes out to the saltwater where water is less concentrated.

Why do celery sticks have veins?
The celery has veins because the veins help the celery transport nutrians throughout the plant. Have you ever done the experiment when you put a celery in colored water? The celery's veins transport the color throughout the celery. It does this because the celery's veins transport the nutrians, so it does it with the water also.
Why will celery not swell and burst when put in a salty solution?
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
What happens if you put wilted celery in distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution. Due to diffusion, water wants to go into the cell to reach equilibrium. Whereas, a salt water solution (hypertonic) would make the water leave the cell. So, if you put "wilted celery in distilled water" then water would diffuse into the piece of celery; making it become harder.
Why does celery go limp if you put it in the freezer?
