Detailed explanation-1: -Muscle tone is the maintenance of a partially contracted state of the muscle (tension) which is important in keeping balance and posture, the proper function of organs, and in generating quick reflexes. Muscle with low muscle tone feel floppy rather than tense.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle tone is the resting tension in a skeletal muscle. It occurs because there are always a few motor units contracting in a resting muscle. These contractions do not cause enough tension to produce movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Muscle tone is the amount of tension (or resistance to movement) in muscles. Our muscle tone helps us to hold our bodies upright when we are sitting and standing. Changes in muscle tone are what enable us to move. Muscle tone also contributes to the control, speed and amount of movement we can achieve.
