It doesn't
Celery will absorb water faster in warm water because the molecules of warm water are more energetic and can penetrate the celery cells more quickly. This allows for quicker absorption of water by the celery.
The salt outside the celery is higher than it is inside. Water will leave the celery and it will (over time) become wilted. If you put the celery into plain water, the water will move into the celery causing it to become firmer. The water will always move to where there is more salt. There is a saying that "water follows salt".
After 30 minutes in cold water with food coloring, celery will start to absorb the colored water through its vascular system. The food coloring will travel up the celery stalk, gradually dyeing it in the process. It creates a simple and visually appealing science experiment to demonstrate how plants absorb water.
Salt water already contains a high concentration of dissolved minerals (such as sodium and chloride) which reduce its ability to absorb further minerals from objects compared to plain water. The dissolved minerals in salt water alter its chemical composition and reduce its capacity to absorb additional substances.
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.
most plants absorb more water through their leafs

It depends on how much food coloring you are trying to absorb, and how big the celery is. If you have a small stick of celery and a lot of food coloring, it will most likely take about a week or so for the celery to completely absorb the food coloring. When the color of the water and the color of the celery switch places, it is fully absorbed. I will be doing this experiment myself to see how long in days, minutes, and seconds it takes, but if you have any more questions, try it!
it absorbs vinegar more quickly and much more efficiently.
== == because the water makes the celery's cells go flaccid (stiff or erect) and that is why celery goes hard after being in water.
no
If you place a stock of celery into a glass of water it will absorb some of the water and become stiff again because celery is mostly water and when it gets older the water starts to leave the stock and it wilts
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.
most towels are thicker so they absorb more water then plain cloth.
