It is believed that cutting the stems of flowers under water prevents air from getting into the stems which would inhibit the stem's ability to absorb water.
It is recommended to put cut flowers in boiling water to help them absorb water more easily and stay fresh longer. Boiling water helps to remove any blockages in the stems and allows the flowers to take in water more effectively, keeping them hydrated and vibrant.
To revive wilting cut flowers, trim the stems at an angle, change the water daily, and place them in a cool location away from direct sunlight.
To revive fresh cut flowers, trim the stems at an angle, change the water daily, and place them in a cool location away from direct sunlight and drafts.

Water from the xylem (vessel carrying water and minerals from roots to leaves) through osmosis going into the leaf cells (mesophyll cells) then diffused into the air space between these cells. When the water potential inside the leaf has a higher water potential then its soundings the water diffuses out of the stoma as water vapour. Thats the simple version!
in the sunlight, you have to water them though.

Cut flowers can live for a short time in water because the water moves up their stems and keeps them fresh. They will die because the roots are needed to bring them nutrients in addition to the water.
