You can think of a plant as a bit like a tower made up of cells instead of bricks. Plant cells are mostly water. If the plant loses too much water through evaporation (or transpiration) and this isn't replaced because you haven't watered it, then the water content of the cells starts to fall. Like partially inflated balloons, they start to lose their shape and strength, becoming "flaccid" or floppy. A tower made of floppy bricks doesn't stand up very well, and is likely to bend over or wilt. Watering the plant will allow the cells to refill and the plant may recover.

Why do plants wilt shortly after watered?
During day time when transpiration occurs watering of plants removes the air from the soil and in the abscence of oxygen root cells can not respire aerobically, hence uptake of water is affected. When the loss of water due to transpiration is not compensated by absorption of water by the roots, wilting is observed in these plants.
