Here's why:

* Wilting occurs when a plant loses water, primarily from its leaves. This water loss causes the plant cells to lose turgor pressure.

* Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted by the fluid inside a cell against its cell wall. It's what gives plants their rigidity and upright structure.

* When a plant wilts, the cells become flaccid because they've lost water and the internal pressure is reduced.

So, while the term "wilted" implies a loss of water and a drooping appearance, the individual cells are still described as turgid, even if their turgor pressure is significantly reduced.
