Question

Why the plant needs water for mechanical function?

• A. It makes the cells and body parts flaccid.
• B. It makes the cells and body part turgid.
• C. It increases the surface area of plants.
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is B It makes the cells and body part turgid.

Water is needed for mechanical function because it helps in maintaining mechanical stability and rigidity. This is achieved by the condition of turgidity. When cells are turgid they remain rigid and function properly.

So the correct answer is 'It makes the cells and body parts turgid'.
