Description
Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure, or matrix effects such as capillary action.
Water potential of fully turgid cell is zero

Water potential depends upon pressure potential and solute potential.The value of pressure potential is equal to the value of turgor pressure.
Pressure potential is negative in a plasmolysed cell, positive for a turgid cell andzero for a flaccid cell.
Water potential is zero in fully turgid cell. Flaccid cell has less negative water potential and plasmolysed cell has more negative water potential.
