Plants show temporary and permanent wilting. Differentiate between the two. Do any of them indicate the water status of the soil?

Solution:

Plants lose turgidity in temporary wilting when the rate of transpiration exceeds the rate of water absorption from the soil, while in permanent wilting, the plant wilts and is a permanent phenomenon because the soil is unable to supply the plant’s water requirements.
