Answer 1

The movement of water into plant cells when they are immersed in distilled water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the process by which water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. In this case, the plant cells absorb water, causing them to swell and possibly burst if the process continues.
