Open in App
Solution

Turgor pressure is responsible for bringing about turgidity in plants, which is a necessary condition for their growth. It facilitates various movements such as closing and opening of stomata. It helps plants in the uptake of water by creating root pressure.
Herbaceous plants have poorly developed mechanical tissue, and the turgor pressure in parenchyma cells provides rigidity to these plants.
