Final answer:

Plant cells prefer hypotonic surroundings to avoid wilting.


Step-by-step explanation:

Plant cells like to be in hypotonic surroundings, otherwise they will wilt. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration compared to the plant cell, resulting in water entering the cell by osmosis. This provides the necessary pressure to maintain the cell's shape and prevent wilting.
