This is a loaded question. It can be due to micro or macronutrient deficiency, lack of water, too much sunlight, high salinity, infection, etc. The mechanical part of wilting is due to cells in the plant's leaves losing water due to the lowering of turgor pressure (essentially a lack of water causing the cells to deflate like a balloon losing air.)

What causes a plan to wilt?
A lack of sun, water, or Carbon Dioxide, because those three are necessary for plants to perform photosynthesis, which makes food for plants. Or if the soil was contaminated with something toxic.
What happens to a plant with too much air?
Plants may become stressed or wilt if they are exposed to too much air, which can lead to excessive transpiration and dehydration. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to high levels of air circulation can damage the plant's leaves and cause them to dry out or die.

What is the wilt disease?
A wilt disease is any number of diseases that affect the vascular system of plants. Attacks by fungi, bacteria, and nematodes can cause rapid killing of plants, large tree branches or even entire trees.Wilt diseases in woody plants tend to fall into two major categories, those that start with the branches and those that start with the roots. Those that start with the branches most often start with pathogens that feed on the leaves or bark, those that start with the roots start with wounding or direct entry by the pathogen into the roots, some are spread from one plant to another by way of root grafts.[1]Pathogens that cause wilting diseases invade the vascular vessels and cause the xylem to fail to transport water to the foliage, thus causing wilting of stems and leaves.Source Wikipedia
What is the synonym for wilt?
"Wilt" is the form of the word "will" which goes with the pronoun "thou". Indeed with only a dozen exceptions, this word is always found immediately after or (in the case of questions) immediately before the word "thou". If you have already figured out that "thou" corresponds to "you" used for a single person, then you can also see that "thou wilt" is exactly the same as "you will".
Why are my cucumber leaves wilting in the sun?
Cucumber leaves may wilt in the sun due to excessive heat and dehydration. The intense sunlight can cause the leaves to lose water faster than they can absorb it, leading to wilting. Providing shade or watering the plants more frequently can help prevent this issue.

What causes tomatoes to wilt?
The obvious one is lack of water, but if the plants do not recover when watered there are a multitude of other reasons.
