Detailed explanation-1: -If a plant is not watered, the extracellular fluid will become isotonic or hypertonic, causing water to leave the plant’s cells. This results in a loss of turgor pressure, which you have likely seen as wilting.
Detailed explanation-2: -A vacuole is a membrane-bound cell organelle. In animal cells, vacuoles are generally small and help sequester waste products. In plant cells, vacuoles help maintain water balance. Sometimes a single vacuole can take up most of the interior space of the plant cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plant cells are known to have bigger vacuoles than that of animal cells as they need to store food and water. This is because the plant don’t possess the ability to move freely like that of animals. Thus, they possess large vacuoles as a reservoir in unfavorable conditions.
Detailed explanation-4: -The vacuole helps a plant recover from wilting because it lls up with water.
