What makes makahiya leaves curl?

Makahiya leaves curl when they are touched or disturbed as a defense mechanism against predators. This reaction is triggered by the plant's ability to rapidly move water from certain cells, causing the leaflets to fold inward and appear wilted.

When these cells are touched, they rapidly lose water, causing the leaflets to close in a defensive response to protect themselves from potential harm or herbivores.
