Depends on how long they have gone without water, but too long and the cells dehydrate and die, resulting in the death of the plant

If you don't water a plant or a plant doesn't get water then it dies. Simple as that. This happens because like all living things, plants need water to grow and to live.

Consider the general equation of photosynthesis:

2n CO2 + 2n H2O + photons → 2(CH2O)n + n O2 + 2n A

Since photosynthesis is a process of Food making....so one can find the importance of water ( H2O) for Plants.
