What holds all plant cells rigid is osmotic pressure - which sucks water into a cell.
When the water is lost, so is the rigidity.

Fifty grams of celery is roughly equivalent to one medium stalk or about two to three smaller stalks. The weight can vary slightly based on the size and water content of the celery. In terms of volume, it’s approximately half a cup when chopped.
Osmosis
nigel
When celery stalk cells lose water, a process called osmosis occurs, where water molecules move from an area of higher concentration inside the cells to an area of lower concentration outside. This causes the cells to lose turgor pressure, leading to wilting and the limp appearance of the stalk. The loss of water disrupts the structural integrity of the cells, making them less rigid and firm. As a result, the celery loses its crispness and becomes soft.

the celery take in the water
A likely component of the solution that causes the celery stalk to wilt is a high salt concentration. Salt draws water out of the cells of the celery through the process of osmosis, leading to the wilting of the stalk.
Yes a celery stalk is absorbent becase of the Vessel tissue, Xylem, and the Phloem which are the parts of the stem of the celery stalk where the tubes that carry the water and minirals.
The cells of the celery stalk are hypertonic to fresh water, causing water to move into the cells through osmosis, making them stiff. When placed in a salt solution, the cells become hypotonic, causing water to move out of the cells, resulting in a limp texture.
By osmosis, water molecules in the vacuoles of the celery move into the salt water. Loss of pressure in the vacuoles causes the cells to collapse and the stalk to wilt.Concentrated water in the celery cells passes out to the saltwater where water is less concentrated.
The stringy cells are the xylem of the plant (tubes that the plant brings water through)
osmosis
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.
