answered-by-expert Expert Answer

Water content of the leaves affect the rate transpiration as follows:

If the water content of the leaves decreases due to insufficient absorption of water by roots; the plant cells attain flaccidity. This leads to the closing of stomata. At the same time, the transpiration exceeds the rate of absorption of water by roots which leaves plants with very less water content. Hence, they wilt.
