If the plant is watered with fresh water, the osmotic potential would cause water to move into the cells of the plant because the concentration of water outside is greater than the concentration of water inside. The cells would become plump because of the pressure of the cytoplasm against the cell walls. The effect is known as "turgor" and the plant would be described as "turgid".

How do osmosis and transpiration affect wilting?

Osmosis involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane, so in plants, if there is more water outside the cell than inside, water can move out of the cell causing it to wilt. Transpiration is the process where plants lose water through their leaves to the atmosphere, so if transpiration rate is high due to environmental conditions like heat and wind, the plant can wilt faster. Overall, both osmosis and transpiration contribute to the loss of water in plant cells which can lead to wilting if not enough water is taken up from the soil to compensate.
