👉 Turgencies, also known as turgor pressure or water pressure in plants, are a type of hydrostatic pressure exerted by the cell walls of plant cells. In simple terms, they help to maintain the structure and shape of plant tissues. In a leaf, for example, turgency is primarily responsible for holding onto moisture. When the leaves are tilted upwards, like in a sunflower or tomato, water from the soil can be more easily absorbed into the leaf's cell walls.
