It takes in water by osmosis. This is why a wilted plant or even a wilted stalk of celery will become firm again if given water.

The cells of a wilted plant are dehydrated or lacking sufficient water, resulting in a loss of turgidity and the collapse of cell walls. This can lead to wilting of the leaves and stems as the plant struggles to maintain its structure and function.
Osmosis brings water into the cell which helps wilted plants recover from dehydration.
A wilted plant cannot efficiently perform photosynthesis because it lacks turgor pressure for gas exchange and proper functioning of chloroplasts. Photosynthesis requires water for the photolysis of water during the light reactions and as a substrate for the Calvin cycle, both of which are compromised in a wilted plant.
it is closed so no further water can be lost

a wilted plant is a plant that has been drained out, that is, that it has no more moisture or water in them.
No water or no sunlight

To revive a wilted basil plant, make sure it is getting enough water and sunlight. Trim off any yellow or wilted leaves, and water the plant thoroughly but avoid overwatering. Consider repotting the plant in fresh soil if it is root-bound. Additionally, misting the leaves can help increase humidity and revive the plant.
It might come back to life, but it depends on the kind of plant.

In a wilted plant- the wilted plant becomes firm again.
If the wilted plant is watered, the water always moves from a high amount of water to a lower amount. In this case, there is more water outside the plant than inside the plant. Water moves by diffusion but in this case we use a special term called osmosis. The plant will 'perk up'.
A plan wilts because of a shortage of water or because there is no water in the central vacuole over a period of time when the plant really needs water.Answer.While agreeing with the first answer a plant can also wilt if given too much water.
