Because of something called capillary action. Capillary action is the tendency of water to move upward in a capillary or thin tube, it's the same reason as to why when placed in a solution of water and red dye, the celery will turn red as well. The action causes the celery to absorb the salt water into it thouroghly and thus, it wilts.

Two celery stalks are placed in red water one with leafs and one without predict which celery stalk will show the greatest movement of water?
the one without leafs
A celery stalk is placed in a solution it begins to wilt what is a likely component of that solution?

Is a celery stalk absorbent?

osmosis
Why do its leaves turn pink when a celery stalk is placed in water?
When a celery stalk is placed in colored water, the leaves can turn pink due to the plant's vascular system absorbing the colored water through its xylem. The pigments in the water travel up the stem and into the leaves, where they become visible as the plant takes up the dye. This process illustrates how water and nutrients are transported within the plant and demonstrates the movement of substances through capillary action.
When you do a capillary action experiment with a stalk of celery with leaves and a stalk of celery without leaves which one pulls up water faster?
The stalk of celery with leaves pulls up water faster, as water evaporates from the leaves, creating an area of low pressure, and the water moves up from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure.
What will happen to a wilted celery placed in a glass of water?
