When it rains, the long, thin, hairy roots of the agave plant take in more water, which travels up the plant into the leaves. The water is then stored in plant cells. When the plant cell is swollen with water, the entire cell becomes rigid and the plant stands upright. Which of the following best explains the above interaction?
