The answer to this question would be water.

The most abundant molecule inside a cell is water. The volume of the cell is greatly influenced by the amount of water that cell has. Water can move with facilitated diffusion or osmosis so maintaining the cell osmotic pressure can be important in keeping the cell water volume.
