Answer 1

The correct answer is Turgor. Turgor pressure keeps plants rigid, that is why plants are called turgid. 

Answer 2

Answer: A plant with high turgor is healthy and rigid.

The water pressure inside the plant cell is called as turgor pressure, which is maintained by the process of osmosis in which the water moves across a permeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to lower concentration. The turgor pressure makes the plant cell in the swollen state and it exerts the pressure against the neighboring cells, these neighboring cells also maintains the same turgidity. This provides the rigidity to the plant structure, hence prevents wilting of the plant.
