Turgor Pressure

+**Turgor Pressure**

+Turgor pressure is the internal hydrostatic force exerted by water within a [Plant Cell](/wiki/plant_cell) against its rigid [Cell Wall](/wiki/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.
