Detailed explanation-1: -If there is excess water loss from plant during transpiration, than is available in soil, the leaf cells lose turgidity and leaves droop down. This is called as wilting of plant. Thus, excessive transpiration causes plants to wilt.
Detailed explanation-2: -When the soil of a plant runs too low of available water, the water chains in the xylem become thinner and thinner due to less water. Effectively, the plant is losing water faster than it is absorbing it. When this happens, the plant loses its turgidity and begins to wilt.
Detailed explanation-3: -When plants lose excess water, the rate of absorption increases and wilting takes place. When wilting occurs, the cells of the plants lose water and become dry. When the conditions are dry and hot in summer, the rate of water evaporation is rapid.
