Best Answer

If the organelles called vacuoles are empty inside the plant cells, the cells will implode causing the plant to wilt.

Further explanation

Plant cells have many organelles out of which one is the vacuole that stores water.

When the vacuole is filled with water, it pushes out and exerts an outward pressure against the cell wall and keeps the cells walls firm. This pressure is called the turgor pressure that keeps the plant stiff.

When a plant is well-hydrated the vacuoles in a plant is filled with water, and the turgor pressure inside the cells is high, and this turgor pressure keeps the plant stiff. This stiffness helps the plant to stand straight (since they do not have any bone for support against gravity).

When a plant gets dehydrated due to lack of water, the plant starts to use the water inside the vacuoles for its vital functions. So water inside the vacuoles starts to exit, and the vacuoles shrink in size.

When water inside the vacuoles comes out the turgor pressure reduces thereby causing the plant to wilt.
