If it's a plant cell it needs good, fully-functioning palisade cells to let water flow in and out.
A plant cell needs to be turgid so that the plant have a support and structure.

What makes plant cells or tissue turgid?
The central vacuole in eukaryotic plant cells. The central vacuole pushes up against the cell membrane to form the structure of the plant. Without water in the central vacuole, the plant begins to wilt.
Why is cell turgidity usefyl to plant?
Turgid plant cells mean that the organism has more than enough water, and this causes the cells to be in a hypotonic state. Plants that have enough water are generally healthier, and the turgid cells support the plant better. Furthermore, studies have shown that plant cells perform the best in a hypotonic state.
The importance of the carbohydrate cellulose to plant cells?
It makes up the cell walls.
Why do plant cells have rigid cells while the animal cells don't have?
Turgid walls help hold the plant upright by internal water pressure. A adaption that allowed plants to acquire the land as a niche.
When a celery stick is nice crisp it has achieved a Wilted Spoiled Flaccid or Turgid?
It is turgid, meaning the cells are full of water so they are firm. This then supports the plant as a whole. The celery stick will then be nice and crisp.
Which cells can be turgid and why?
Plant cells are the cells that can be turgid, because animal cells would burst.

What is happening at the cellular level when a wilted plant is watered?
The plant cells are absorbing water and will become turgid again.
In which of the following would there be the greatest need for osmoregulation?
Plant Cells need hypotonic enviroment in order to stay turgid because Plant cells wither in an isotonic solution because there must be an inflow of water into the cells for the plant cell to stay turgid against its cell wall.
What happens to both plant and animal cells when they are placed into a solution that is hypotonic?
Both types of cells will have endo-osmosis and will become turgid
What the plant cells called that absorb water and swell up by absorbing water?
Turgid cell
What does it mean if plant cell is turgid?
If a plant cell is turgid it is swollen, distended, congested or stiff
When you cut into most active plant tissue water appears almost immediately because plant cells are?
I think the word you are looking for is 'turgid'

Turgid walls help hold the plant upright by internal water pressure. A adaption that allowed plants to acquire the land as a niche.
Does being turgid provide support for root hair cell?
Yes, when a cell is turgid it means that it is full of solvent, or in this case water, and provides for support. Plant cells have central vacuoles that are meant to store water and provide for the plant's support -- when a plant is droopy, it means that the plant isn't receiving enough water and its cells' central vacuoles are deprived of water, therefore unable to provide structural support. I can assume that this is the same for root hair cells. The opposite of a cell being turgid (meaning hard and full) is a cell being flaccid (empty, weak, flingy). The latter would not provide ANY support for the root hair cells, so my final answer is yes, being turgid does provide support for root hair cells.
