answered-by-expert Expert Answer
Turgor pressure is helpful to plants in following ways:

1. Turgidity provides rigidity to soft tissues such as the leaves.

2. Turgidity helps mushrooms and seedlings to push through the hard ground.

3. Turgor pressure in root cells build up root pressure which is necessary for the absorption of water by root cells.

4. Turgor pressure helps in the opening and closing of stomata.

5. The bending movement of certain flowers towards the sun and the sleep movements of the leaves of certain plants at night are also due to turgor movements.
