The amount of salt on the inside and outside of a cell must be equal for a cell to function properly. As such, if there's too much water inside of a cell, it will leak, and if there's not enough, it will absorb water from its environment to balance out its salinity, or saltiness.

Hypotonic solutions can be found in both animal and plant cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell. This can lead to swelling and potentially bursting of the cell if not regulated properly by the cell.
