2.14 understand the importance in plants of turgid cells as a means of support

A turgid cell is one that is, effectively, full of water; this increases the volume of the cytoplasm, which exerts pressure outwards. These cells are stronger so they support the plant- meaning that a plant grows upwards.

This is why a dehydrated plant will wilt.

    your blogs are amazingly useful! Thank you :D
