Turgor Pressure

Turgor Pressure

Turgor pressure is the internal hydrostatic force exerted by water within a Plant Cell against its rigid Cell Wall. This gentle pressure maintains the plant's structural integrity, allowing stems and leaves to remain firm and upright. It is crucial for growth, cell expansion, and preventing wilting.
